Kevin Mahoney (Canisius) Forest City Owls
A junior from Canisius and Miller Place, N.Y., Mahoney proved to be a dangerous hitter for the Owls in 2008. He started and played in 54 games for Forest City and finished with an impressive .324 batting average. Mahoney finished third in the league with 66 hits, including 16 doubles (tied for second in CPL) and a league-best 13 home runs. He also led the league with 47 runs scored, 46 RBIs, 121 total bases and a .593 slugging percentage. Mahoney also tacked on a .419 on-base percentage, was walked 29 times and went 13-of-15 in stolen bases.
Of those numbers, several ranked Mahoney in the Top 10 in a single season in Coastal Plain League history. His 121 total bases tied the record previously set by current Major Leaguer Jason Dubois (Rocky Mount, 1998), while his 13 homers and 46 RBIs were good enough to tie for third most in a single season. His 47 runs scored put him tied for fifth, while he also finished tied for seventh in slugging percentage (.593) and eighth in hits (66).
With the help of Mahoney, Forest City won the First Half Championship in the CPL West Division, and clinched the Owls' first berth into the Petitt Cup Tournament. Mahoney was also selected as a Coastal Plain League All-Star, starting at third base for the 2008 CPL American All-Star squad in Asheboro, N.C. Furthermore, he was also a two-time CPL Rawlings Hitter of the Week, earning that honor in week one and two of the regular season.

The lyrics to the song suggests that the song is a romantic affair. The singer goes on about having her lover and bestfriend with her every day and all the time.
The partner seems to be a smooth operator. A big part of why she is falling so hard for him is because he is "saying the words that I (she) want you to say" says the singer. According to the melodious undertone of this song, this budding relationship seems genuine.

[book review] The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail — but Some Don't | Eugene!
Thanks for sharing your review Eugene, much enjoyed reading it and tempted to read this book now. About the study on earthquakes, it must be said that the using historic data is proving to be a very wrong approach to predicting their happening. In fact, earthquakes are usually shifts of tectonic plaques after years, decades and even centuries of accumulated inertia. Research now shows that regions that show no sign of seismic activity in any of the past records are potentially more likely to be zones of high and destructive future seismic activity (naturally if they are in radius of falls or tectonic plaques edges).

Wow what a day fishing with our friends Ricky Walker and Paul Young visiting from the UK. Years ago they both did a show that aired all over the UK called Hooked on Fishing and had show several shows with my father Richard Stanczyk Sr. We've remained good friends through the years, and Ricky had visited this year in April with his son and we had a good day catching snook and tarpon. Paul got to tag along this time. We still had the cold water from the recent cold front, and light northeast winds, which I was hoping would be a good recipe for some great fishing. We hit it right and it was action packed all day long! All throughout the tide, everywhere we went there seemed to be fish! We started the day with a very healthy snook and then a smaller one. Then we got a few more black drums and snook. Another area was loaded with nice seatrout – all healthy looking specimens and definitely keeper size though we released them all. Later on we got into absolute pile of redfish as the tide started to fall. And nice size reds for us too, not many little guys as had been around often in the warmer temperatures. These were all slot size fish and some above. We even had a 30 something incher swim right under the bow we could see on the surface, it was amazing! Then we got into some tarpon action which was awesome. Our Mustad Fishing jigs with our PENN Fishing SpinFisher Vs did the trick and we landed all of our tarpon on the mustad 1/4 oz jigs! Paul had just been asking about whether or not tarpon would bite in this cold, I said not often but your best bet is with a nice big shrimp. As things started to warm slightly, they got a little active and my dad caught two and then Paul got himself one as well! While Paul caught his we doubled up on nice redfish too which made for a wild triple header! We decided to kind of wrap it up at that point and we checked a few things I had not fished in a while but did not have much luck there. But a good day to try as we had already had a killer day! Just what a magical day these two brought some good luck with them that is for sure. We will be getting some south/southeast wind tomorrow and a lot warmer for a few days, then another front mid week though I don't think we'll get a major temperature drop. Might mix up the fishing over the weekend with the south wind but when it calms down then goes north later this week, should be real good.


How Long is a Person Supposed to Live?
Longer than we do! Medical science tells us that human flesh has the capacity to live to 115 years. Our heart will beat that long. Our teeth will last that long. Bodily functions can continue to 115 years! Frankly, though, this is no surprise. In the Bible, God stated very clearly in Genesis 6 that man's life would be limited to 120 years.
What is the Average Life Expectancy in the U.S.?
The latest statistics from the Centers of Disease Control, National Vital Statistics Reports, Vol. 49, No. 12 (dated year 2000) state that a man's life expectancy is 74 years; a woman's life expectancy is 79 years.
The natural process of oxidation causes aging. We live because our bodies are constantly burning fuel (in the form of fat and sugar). This process of burning a fuel is the oxidation process. In other words, to create heat and energy, oxidation must occur. Therefore, if we are alive, oxidation will happen. There are byproducts of oxidation. These byproducts are known as free radicals. It is the damage from free radicals that cause us to age.
All things are composed of atoms that join together with other atoms to form molecules. The molecules are held together by an electro-magnetic force involving the sharing of electrons (negative electrical charges). Electrons are always paired. If they are not paired, an unstable molecule results. Unstable molecules (free radicals) become flying missiles which cause damage to other molecules, making them unstable molecules. A chain reaction results which can damage tissue. The outcome is that the human body ages.
The most damaging free radicals are known as the reactive oxygen species. They are the hydroxyl radical and the superoxide radical. The oxygen singlet and hydrogen peroxide are non-radical variations of the reactive oxygen species.
Ultraviolet light (including radiation from X-rays, CAT, PET, MRI scans).
Reperfusion injuries (the return of blood to an organ or tissue that has been temporarily deprived of blood).
What Slows the Process of Aging?
Anti-oxidants slow the process of aging. These substances prevent oxidation from occurring or in their own particular way negate the effects of the oxidation. There are two groups of anti-oxidants. The first group is the one that you produce without even thinking about it. They are called endogenous anti-oxidants. These are anti-aging fighters that your body produces. The second group are exogenous protectors, anti-oxidants that you supply to your body through diet and supplementation.
There are three main anti-aging fighters that your body produces naturally. The first is superoxide dismutase (SOD). SOD converts the superoxide radical into hydrogen peroxide, which in turn, through a separate process, is turned into water and oxygen. The second and third are the anti-oxidants that convert the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. They are catalase and gluthathione peroxidase.
The three main anti-aging fighters that you can supply to your body through diet and supplementation are vitamins C, E, and beta carotene. There are also many naturally occurring anti-oxidants in our vegetables and fruits, however, the vitamins C, E, and beta carotene are some of our most comprehensive. Other helpful anti-oxidants are the carotenoids, lycopene, grapeseed extract, Coenzyme Q10, Resveratrol, lutein, zeaxanthin, quercetin, and broccoli sprouts extract.
Unsaturated fats, such as those found in nuts, seeds, nut butter, and oils, are also valuable. They, too, contain antioxidants. An additional benefit is that unsaturated fats allow the addition of a functional group.
To make hormones and neurotransmitters, your body must take a fat and add what is known as a functional group. When the body is forced to use a saturated fat for this purpose (i.e., butter, lard, palm oil, cheese, etc.), it must first convert this saturated fat to an unsaturated fat. Then it can attach its functional group. However, the process of changing a saturated fat to an unsaturated one creates free radical damage. If one consumes unsaturated fats vs. saturated fats, this free radical damage can be avoided.
Eliminating sweets from your diet. This means no longer eating any cakes, pies, cookies, doughnuts, candy, ice cream, Jell-O, pudding, muffins, sweetened breads (pumpkin bread, zucchini bread), etc. This means no natural sweeteners (honey, jam, jelly, Sucanat, syrup [even 100% pure maple syrup], molasses, etc.). This also means no artificial and "natural-artificial" sweeteners (Splenda, Stevia, Sweet N Low, Equal, NutraSweet, aspartame, xyitol, mannitol, agave nectar, etc.)Sweetened beverages (lemonade, Kool-Aid, hot chocolate, punch, Gatorade, etc.). Any item that has a sweetener added (like ketchup or cereal) must have 5 grams of sugar or less per serving.
Making certain that you have adequate rest (a minimum of 8 hours in a 24 hour period).
Eating at least 5 servings of vegetables daily. (serving size: ½ cup, or 1½ cups if it is a salad).
Eliminate sweets from your diet.
Get at least 9 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period.
Eat 5 servings of vegetables daily (serving size: ½ cup, or 1½ cups if it is a salad).
Eat foods with multi-carotenoid/phytonutrients, such as walnuts, artichokes, eggs, and deep-colored vegetables (i.e., carrots, broccoli, orange winter squash, spinach, and tomatoes).
Eat yellow, red, and orange bell peppers for their high vitamin C content.
Consume 1½ cups nuts or seeds daily. These should be eaten 1½ hours away from any legume servings. If you wish, you may substitute ¾ cup nut or seed butter (i.e., cashew butter, peanut butter [natural—no hydrogenation or palm/coconut oil], sunflower seed butter, etc.) or 6 Tablespoons oil (olive, canola, walnut, etc. [just no palm or coconut oil]) instead of the nuts. Nuts and seeds are a wonderful source of vitamin E, and also supply unsaturated fat.
For beta carotene, eat more vegetables! Again, the colored vegetables are best. Hot peppers, romaine and leaf lettuce, kale, spinach, and carrots are all good sources.
If you are a smoker or a heavy exerciser, strongly consider eliminating these aging activities.
LDL cholesterol can also oxidize, creating free radical damage. The key to discarding LDL, and thus preventing its oxidation, is soluble fiber. Eat 3 half-cup servings of legumes daily for soluble fiber. See the article on Carotid Artery Blockage for an inside look at how soluble fiber removes LDL.


Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that has a seasonal pattern.
The symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) are similar to those of normal depression. However, unlike non-seasonal depression, they occur on a seasonal basis.
The symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) are thought to be linked to the shorter, winter days when the body has less exposure to sunlight.
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can usually be treated using a number of treatments, including cognitive behavioural therapy, light therapy and antidepressants.

The 8 Best Christmas Movies and Holiday Specials for Sports Fans
By Brian Jones - December 20, 2022 06:17 pm EST
We are only a few days away from Christmas, and there are hundreds of Christmas-themed TV shows and movies fans can watch. But which ones are the best for sports fans?
Many Christmas lovers have debated that Die Hard is a Christmas movie. The same argument can be said about Rocky IV as the events in the film happen during Christmas time. Michael Walsh of Nerdist shared his thoughts on the debate.
"Rocky IV is mostly a collection of montages interspersed with an absurd plot and lots of punching," Walsh wrote. "It stars an all-time great movie villain and a classic Sylvester Stallone hero at his over-the-top best. It's one of the most wonderful gifts in the history of cinema. But it's not a Christmas present. It has to settle for simply being a sports movie that ended the Cold War."
Rocky IV's Christmas prestige might be up for debate, but it's still a movie all fans can enjoy around this time. But does it make this list? Scroll down to find out the TV and movies sports fans need to watch in order to celebrate Christmas the best way.
'Ted Lasso ' Holiday Special

Ted Lasso is a huge hit for Apple TV+ as it has won multiple Emmy Awards. This year, AppleTV+ released a five-minute animated special that features the voices of the Ted Lasso cast, including Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham and Brett Goldstein. The special can be seen on AppleTV+ or on its YouTube page.
Robbie the Reindeer: Hooves of Fire
This animated special follows Robbie, a reindeer who looks to join Santa Claus' sleigh team just like his father Rudolph. He travels to the North Pole and encounters Blitzen, who looks to "destroy" Robbie.
Santa With Muscles
Everybody talks about the best Christmas movies... but what about the worst?
Here's mine: 'Santa with Muscles' starring Hulk Hogan. pic.twitter.com/QO0uFcoHxk

As mentioned earlier, Santa with Muscles features Hulk Hogan, and he plays a self-made billionaire who gets in trouble after playing paintball. He is targeted by police, leading him to hide in a mall and wearing a Santa Clause outfit. Hogan's character hits his head, resulting in amnesia and being convinced he's Santa Claus.
This not a Christmas movie, but it does have a Christmas scene. Miracle is a film based on the United States Hockey team upsetting the Soviet professionals in the 1980 Winter Olympics. The film was well-received by critics and earned $64.5 million at the box office.
Rocky IV is not considered a Christmas movie, but the fight between Rocky and Ivan Drago does happen on Christmas Day. At the end of the fight, Rocky wished his son a Merry Christmas as he celebrates his big win.

WWE's The Miz starred in the direct to TV film Santa's Little Helper and played the role of Dax and a greedy corporate man who gets fired a loses everything. He is then reviewed by Bille, an elf from the North Pole, to be Santa's little helper. Former WWE Superstars Paige and Maryse also star in the film.
Christmas Bounty
Before Santa's Little Helper, The Miz also starred in the TV film Christmas Bounty. It also features Francia Raisa, Will Greenberg and Chelan Simmons.

WWE's The Big Show had his own series on Netflix, but it was canceled after one season. In the final episode, the cast of The Big Show Show get together for a special Christmas episode, which can now be seen on the streaming service.


This bestselling author presents his latest compilation of time- and cost-saving techniques, methods, and strategies for soil and groundwater remediation. This book outlines advanced technologies, including phytoremediation, air sparging, reactive zones, vacuum-enhanced recovery, and more!
Air Sparging - Savior of Groundwater Remediations or Just Blowing Bubbles in the Bathtub?


Teachers at the Eastham early childhood program know that the natural curiosity of toddlers and preschoolers makes science learning fun even in the earliest years of life.
That's why the center holds an annual science night, where young children and their parents discover the fun of making science part of everyday learning.
"This year's theme was "Light & Shadows," said program leader Cheryl Howell. "Parents and children had so much fun investigating how light travels and reflects through many different kinds of objects using flashlights and prisms."
In one darkened classroom children squealed with delight while digging and scooping in a bin of glow-in-the-dark cooked pasta. In another room children used light tables, creating pictures using letters and shapes.
"It was sometimes hard to tell who was having more fun while exploring and discovering their way through the many activities teachers provided for our youngest science enthusiasts," Howell said.


"The next launch in August is Intelsat 33e; that's going to give us Europe, Africa, Middle East into Asia, and including the very heavily trafficked air routes into Asia from Europe, so it's going to be very exciting to see that develop," he says.
Panasonic is anchor tenant on Intelsat 29e, meaning the company has worked with Intelsat for years to define its needs for the satellite. Gogo, though a customer of Intelsat's traditional broad beam Ku service today, is "not on Epic yet but we're hopeful that when they see the performance of Intelsat 29e in a few weeks time, they'll be impressed by it, so we'll see," says Spengler. Gogo could not be immediately reached for comment.
Passengers should also expect a better inflight television experience to boot. "So you know it's part of the design that we've built into Intelsat 29e and 33e. We've overlayed those spot beams with wide beams which is a single beam that will allow live broadcast television to be transmitted to all the aircraft … So data is going over the spot beams, television will be going over the wide beams. And we think it's a unique capability of the system," says Spengler.
In fact, airlines that have had a taste of broadband and TV together "want more of everything; they're loving what they're seeing and their requirements have gone up tenfold in each category", says Panasonic Avionics VP Global Communications Services David Bruner.
Other providers, such as Gogo should it sign up for Epic service, can also take advantage of this widebeam overlay for TV, confirms Intelsat's Spengler.
Intelsat is not alone in the HTS game; rival Inmarsat has already launched a three-satellite Ka-band constellation called Global Xpress (GX), which will support inflight connectivity on commercial aircraft pending certification of the necessary Honeywell-made terminal units, inclusive of antennas. A fourth GX satellite will add oomph to this service in time. ViaSat operates high-capacity Ka-band satellites, but its 'Exede' aero service – which supports a streaming class of high-speed Internet service on JetBlue and some 200 Boeing narrowbodies operated by United – is currently limited by geography. Coverage and capacity will further improve with the launch of ViaSat-2 and the firm's next generation ViaSat-3 three-satellite platform, but it will take some time. Another satellite operator, SES, will begin launching Ku HTS in 2017, supporting Global Eagle Entertainment's inflight connectivity customers, including Southwest Airlines and others.
Spengler believes Intelsat is well positioned in the face of these competitive threats. "I feel very good about the position that we've established in all the main segments that we serve… We have the leading position right now in terms of capacity for aeronautical services, according to [noted satellite consultancy] NSR. That was last year's report. We're the leading position for the market share of maritime mobility as well. And so we didn't come from an L-band or narrowband history, we started off by providing higher bandwidth services to those sectors. With Intelsat Epic we can take a big step forward.
Will the Epic platform support a ViaSat Exede-type of service as found on JetBlue, which allows passengers to access their Amazon Prime accounts for free? Spengler says, "It will be the airlines' decision and the service providers' decision how they want to dimension the service. That is what we're not going to determine ourselves. We're going to enable our distribution partners with what we believe is outstanding high throughput technology that they'll be able to determine how they dimension that for the customers. But the performance should be good. It will be dramatically better than what has been provided in Ku band so far.
But the race to add capacity on a global scale continues apace. "Right now … have seven Epic satellites in the plan and each Epic satellite is not identical. We are trying to take advantage of technological advances over that time period, so we're working closely with Boeing as our technology partner on the sat side and, and as we roll these Epic satellites out, they'll have more capability, more flexibility, they'll be more dynamic platforms so we'll be enhancing as we go along," says Spengler.
Watch the launch of Intelsat 29e from French Guiana in the video below.
Consolidation is inevitable and the strongest and hence the survivors will be one with deep pockets. IFC will evolve and will be dramatically different(technologically and marketability) in 10 years than it is now, no doubt. Supplier to innovate, evolve and bring a differentiated product to the market, quickest will gain to benefit. Commodity based solutions will quickly lose market appeal.

Q: How to calculate GPA for each group in Crystal Report? I have to develop a report which will show the student's current semester Grade, Credit for each course and student details. And Total GPA for each student on that semester.
So for this, I have created Group depending on Student ID. So now the report Shows Ok but I have to calculate the GPA for each student ID which is each group in Crystal Report. The formula for GPA is:
 (grade point * credit)/Sum(Credit)

I am not so sure how I can apply this formula in each group footer.
Mentioned: I am using Crystal Report 10, VB.NET, Mysql

A: //{@GPA}
Sum({table.grade_point},{table.student_id}) / Sum({table.credit},{table.student_id}) / Sum({table.credit},{table.student_id})

A: Put each student as a group then in the details you can put the credits and grade. quick outline:
//Group1 header
{t.student}
//detail
{b.course_num}  {b.credit} {b.grade} {@grade}
//group1 footer
{?credit_hours}  {@GPA}

//{@grade} place in details
  case {b.grade}
  when A  then 4.00
  when A- then 3.70
  when B+ then 3.33
  when B  then 3.00
  when B- then 2.70
  when C+ then 2.30
  when C  then 2.00
  when C- then 1.70
  when D+ then 1.30
  when D  then 1.00
  when D- then 0.70
  else 0

//{@grade_pt} place in details
  {@grade} * {t.credit}

//{@GPA} place in group footer, and create running totals
  ({?credit_hours}*{?grade})/{?credit_hours}

The jacket alone was why I started paying attention to Lady Gaga.
People are free to hold any opinion about her they wish, but I happen to LIKE Lady Gaga! I think she's HILARIOUS!

Before you totally write off her having any real interest in punk or whatever, might as well check out this video...

Fake punk. The singer writes pop songs for Justin Beiber. This was just a crass attempt at trying to commercialize punk.

I WAS gonna ask if REAL punk bands actually play Lotta Poor Losers, but you answered my question. The band in question seem alright, but I detected a phoniness to them.
Still a pretty cool clip though. The music wasn't bad, and as I said, I think Lady Gaga is hilarious, but Lotta Poor Losers has fuck all to do with what punk is all about, or is supposed to be about.
Only time I ever went to Lotta Poor Losers was to see Black Sabbath with Ozzy because that was the year Tony Iommi had his cancer scare, and seeing B.S. w/Ozzy was on my bucket list. I can say I've been there, done that, so never again, no matter who's playing.

Lady Gaga is just another major label manufactured product. Wearing what she or her clip director looked like punk to them was simply a fashion statement. On that basis, she is definitely not one of us.

Yeah, but I'll bet she actually does know those bands, and even listens to them once in a while. Maybe not, but you wouldn't believe what some people listen to on their down time.
If you want to focus on the fact that she's a major superstar that's signed to a major label and her concerts are out of reach for the average working class music fan, and you simply don't like her music, fair enough. Those are good points and good things to keep in mind, but she IS a feminist, LGBTQ positive, and has publicly taken a stand against bullying. These facts alone have earned her my respect. As I said, I like Lady Gaga, and I think she has a marvelous sense of humor. She seems to actually care about her fans, (Mind you I said SEEMS to. I don't know her personally so I can't vouch for her) Plus she's a damned site better than MADONNA could ever hope to be! (I'd even go so far as to say that she's the ANTI-MADONNA)
But, yeah, if she's riding around in limos, and staying in the presidential suites at 4 star hotels when she goes on tour, she ISN'T one of us. You'd be right on that score.

In all honesty I heard/saw an early clip and figured she was simply a clothes rack. Haven't paid her much attention since. As for liking her, we all have our own perversions LOL. I admit to having a couple of tapes by Aerosmith and Lynard Skynard during my 1% daze. I don't know what I was thinking. Just the low rent company I was keeping back then. Thankfully for humanity I've evolved somewhat since.
You're right about Madonna, never has someone gone so far for so long with so little. But there is one even worse, our own singing budgie, Kylie Minogue, who is a pale imitation of Madonna.
Never was really into Aerosmith. They had one or two good songs, but I think The New York Dolls were much better at it. Not a fan of Lynard Skynard, but saw a documentary on them, and they have gained a little more respect from me now. They grew up poor and working class, and the drummer, Artimus Pyle's politics lean towards the left of center. Did you know that one of the guitar players from Strawberry Alarm Clock was one of the early members? (And in case you're wondering, Sweet Home Alabama was meant as tongue in cheek sarcasm and wasn't meant to be taken seriously. And they no longer fly the Confederate rebel flag anymore, because they DON'T want to be associated with white supremacists. They did that in the beginning to show southern pride, being they're from Florida, but they want nothing to do with racism and hate) Still don't like southern rock very much except for maybe Creedence Clearwater Revival, ZZ Top, and maybe some Allman Brothers. (And the song Flirting With Disaster by Molly Hatchet, but that's really the ONLY song by them I like)
Kylie Minogue only had one hit in the U.S. (Out of My Head) Is she still popular in Australia? We haven't heard anything from her since.
Our Kyle's is treated as musical royalty here. Her last concert tour was declared amaze-balls by the commentariat and I think she got inducted into the ARIA hall of fame as well. She was also big in the UK. She has a dedicated gay following as well. I've always seen her as a mercenary, money hungry vacuum cleaner hanging off Madonna's coattails. Opinionated SOB ain't I.
I'm relieved that Skynard have turned out not to be a bunch of rednecks and have dropped the confederate flag. The story I heard about SHA was that it was a fuck you to Neil Young for his tune Southern Man. I no longer feel quite so ashamed of that youthful indiscretion. I actually had the 1st Strawberry album which I'd picked up second hand. I wound up selling it along with a wad of other lp's to pay the rent one time. Small world really.
Didn't mind early ZZ but they lost me with Eliminator or whatever the fuck it was called, it was just too poppy for my tastes. A riding mate of mine was right into that album and played it repetitively, whenever I visited him. He betrayed me quite badly when I bailed on the club we were in, so that adds to the bad taste in my mouth whenever I hear anything from that lp.
Early Allman's was OK but the quality declined sharply after the motorcycle accident. CCR just left me cold, it wasn't trippy enough for me back then. Much preferred the Dead, Doors, Airplane, Floyd, Beefheart, Hendrix, Cream etc from that era. Spent a lot of nights tripping to them.
Interesting that you mentioned Madonna and Kylie in the same sentence since it turns out that they both belong to the same mutual appreciation society. I think I read an interview somewhere that Kylie saw a picture of Madonna in one of her t-shirts and took it as high praise. (Not that any of this will put food on my table, keep a roof over my head, or keep the bill collectors at bay, mind you)
There is a line in SHA that does confront Neil Young personally, but, believe it or not, not only did Neil Young take it as a compliment, he was actually friends with Lynard Synard. (I think one time, I saw somewhere a picture of the band and one of them actually was wearing a Neil Young t-shirt) The actual story I heard about that song was they wrote it as a reaction to always being hassled driving through Alabama to record music. Muscle Shoals is famous for having two state of the art recording studios where many famous bands made records (The Rolling Stones recorded Sticky Fingers in one of those studios) and Lynard Skynard, being from Florida found it close to them, and wanted the best. Sometimes they would stop at a truck stop, and would get harassed by the local red necks, and truck drivers for having long hair. (Mind you, it was very dangerous to have long hair and play rock and roll music in the south all the way up to the 1980s) I still have the first SAC album. Believe it or not, I only picked it up for 99 cents. It was a bit beat up and scratched, but played pretty well.
Yeah, Eliminator was rather slick and commercial. The early stuff in the 70s was really when they were at their best. (In many ways, they were the inspiration for Motorhead, and not just being a trio either) Sorry to hear that your friend turn their back on you like that. There are certain things I still avoid because certain people have wronged me.
As far as The Allman Brothers go, the band wasn't the same w/o Dwayne. CCR is really more of a joint smoking beer drinking kind of band, but I thought some of their songs were fun to listen to on acid. Definitely not in the same vein as all the other bands you mentioned. (PF left me cold after Obscured by Clouds, but everything prior to that is good)
I knew the south was pretty backward but until the 80's for long hair? Fuck me. How could they cope with spikey haired punks. I can predict your response to that one, they didn't.
As far as Floyd goes the best tripping lp's were the early ones up to Meddle. After Dark Side it was more of a hash/weed thing until the Final Cut which was a complete bummer. Gilmour's reformed Floyd was just trading on past cred and disposable.
ZZ as an inspiration for Motorhead? I'll have to listen to them again to hear what you're saying. Interesting hypothesis though.
Surprisingly enough, some good punk bands came out of the south in the 80s and 90s, but you're right. Most people were quite intolerable of punk rock and punk rockers back then.
I always thought David Gilmore was more or less flogging a dead horse after The Wall. I found Dark Side of The Moon and everything after that too depressing and pessimistic, which is odd, since a lot of punk and heavy metal is that. I guess I didn't want to hear those kinds of lyrics put to that kind of music. Plus, I think Steely Dan does that sort of thing much better, much shorter, and with a tongue in cheek sense of humor that Waters did not possess.
It's more apparent on ZZ Top's early stuff like the first three or four albums. Plus they did justice to Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers.
I know Scratch Acid came out of Texas but little beyond that. Care to fill me in on some of them?
Dark Side and Wish were ok, but Waters really began to disappear up his own fundament with Animals [their "punk" album]. Wall and Final Cut. I passed on his solo work for that reason, he was such a miserable sod. Still he's very vocal in his support of Palestine and BDS which gets kudos from me.
Even though Steely Dan's name got a giggle out of me because I'd read Burrough's and knew what it referred to, I wasn't taken by their music. It was too slick, when I wanted raw and abrasive. Teenage testosterone me thinks.
The Butthole Surfers and M.D.C. both came from Texas, as did The Dicks and The Big Boys. (All of these bands are from Austin) 7 Seconds were from Reno, Nevada, and Jodie Foster's Army from Arizona. (Phoenix, I think, but I can't quite remember) Corrosion of Conformity came out of Raleigh, North Carolina, Th' Inbred came from Morgantown, West Virginia, The Hickoids were also from Austin, and The Meat Puppets were also from Arizona. (I can't remember exactly from where, though) The (Mortal) Micronotz were from Lawrence Kansas. I won't mention Anti-Seen, because, as good as their music is, they are self proclaimed red necks, but they are from Charlotte, North Carolina. These are the bands from the south that immediately come to mind. There are more, but I'm not remembering them at the moment. I know there were one or two good bands out of Florida. (Roach Motel is one, but I can't remember exactly where from Florida they were from)
Actually I have some respect for Animals since it is loosely based on George Orwell's Animal Farm, but I think I'd rather read the book. I have an original uncensored copy of Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, but it's a bit depressing, and since it's the uncensored version, maybe one day I can put it u on e-bay if I'm in need of some sort of financial bail out. (But first I have to start an e-mail account, and that's not happening today) I did see an interview with him once and he did come across as rather intelligent.
I can understand Steely Dan coming across as slick, and I understand that that particular style of music isn't for everybody. I didn't like 'em myself for years, and then it hit me that on many levels, they are really a musician's band, and not really for casual listening. Not everybody's cuppa, and I can respect that. But if one were to listen to the lyrics of some of their stuff, it comes across as dark and cynical, but also very sarcastic, with a tongue in cheek sense of humor. In many ways they see the humor in what's wrong with this world. As I've said, what Pink Floyd did with one album, (Or a two record set) Steely Dan could convey the same message in a five minute song, and it would be funny. (A lot of people never read Naked Lunch, and don't understand the reference)
I'll respond to your other recent posts a bit later, but I'm a bit tired as of now, trying to reorient my mother from being out of hospital and all.
I'm hitting the hay myself so there's no problem on that account.
I forgot the Surfers were out of Texas. I've got all their stuff, so I guess you could call me a fan. Will check out the other bands, a couple of which I've heard of but not actually listened to. Now that I've matured and my musical tastes have broadened I'll give Dan another shot. Any suggestions on where to begin?

Are You Afraid of True Love?
We have relationships that last a night, a few hours, a day, or a month. Nothing we have to commit to, nothing that makes us feel anything beyond desire, nothing that involves showing love, feelings, tenderness, or affection. Are we afraid of true love?
We invent all kinds of excuses to protect ourselves. I don't have the time, I love my freedom, I want to be single, I don't want a commitment, I don't want to distance myself from my friends. But what's really happening is that we're afraid of ourselves.
Discover what true love really is
According to psychologist Walter Riso, we should distinguish between good love (healthy, consistent, and constructive) and bad love (unhealthy, inconsistent, and destructive). True love always has three elements, and if one of them is missing, the relationship is bound to suffer.
"There is only one true, authentic love. But there are many facsimiles of love."
-François de la Rochefocauld-
The three elements of love are Eros, Philia, and Agape. Eros is sexual desire, which manifests as possession, infatuation, and passion. This is the most selfish facet of love. Philia is the friendship in the relationship, which allows each person to transcend the ego and share everything with each other. Agape is the selfless, tender, and delicate part of love.
Throughout the relationship, one element might be more dominant than the others, but all three should always be present. On a related note, scientists from Stony Brook University in New York have discovered that love really can last over time.
The researchers scanned the brains of various couples who were together for at least 20 years, and others who were in the beginning of their relationship. They compared the results and found that one out of every ten mature couples showed the same chemical reaction in the brain as the new couples. This shows that it is possible to maintain the same level of love over time.
Reasons why we fear true love
When we're reluctant to try things that are new, that involve exposing ourselves, or that could make us suffer, we get paralyzed, and this prevents us from discovering true love. It's evident that some relationships work, and others don't, and that there will always be some level of risk.
"It's enough to look at you to know that you will permeate my soul."
-Julio Cortázar-
In our society, everything is so rushed. We don't stop to get to know people, and we go from one relationship to another without letting ourselves feel anything for them or enjoy learning about them. This is due to various causes, which include the following:
Feeling vulnerable
Starting a new relationship makes us feel insecure and vulnerable because we have to expose ourselves to the other person, and sometimes it's easier to expose our bodies than our souls. We feel a lack of control over what could happen in the future, and this scares us.
"May we have the courage to be alone and the courage to risk being together."
-Eduardo Galeano-
We don't yet know the other person, which can lead us to distrust them. However, getting to know someone and starting a relationship with them always involves a risk. Saying what you feel and expressing your desires is important to create a foundation for true love.
Not wanting to get hurt again
Everyone has gone through breakups and complicated situations, but the heart heals over time. However, when a new person comes along, we relive the pain in a certain way and fear getting hurt again.
This baggage can prevent you from being yourself with the person you're now getting to know. When you only show them a part of who you are, you prevent them from getting to know your true feelings.
Love involves suffering
Many people identify love with suffering, and so they don't want to start a new relationship. When someone shows interest in them, they run away. You have to eliminate limiting beliefs from your mind that might be distorting your reality and keeping you away from true love.
Fear of losing the other person is an impediment to a healthy relationship, because it leads you to try to own them instead of love them. This desire for possession can end up creating suspicion, distancing you from your partner, and deteriorating the relationship.
Having less time for friends and family
Many people don't want to be in a relationship because they think it will distance them from their friends. But balancing a relationship with friends doesn't have to be that complicated. These two areas of life can complement each other without creating any conflict.
It's the same with family. Many people think that starting a new relationship will break their ties with their family, which leads them to run away from commitment. Overcoming this erroneous belief and integrating all the important people into your life can make you feel complete and happy.

Great lessons easy to find this season
By Tamara L. O'Shaughnessy
As a kid growing up in a tiny town in Maine, I learned early about government by the people, for the people. Every year at the annual town hall meeting, the entire population of the town would gather and vote on issues facing them. Majority won.
By high school, I made a whopping $18 a day writing about town hall meetings across the county for the local weekly newspaper. By 18, finally old enough to vote in a presidential election, I became a member of the town's caucus—a handful of people sitting around a huge worn kitchen table at the biggest cattle farm in our county to cast our vote for the town's presidential pick.
I never forget those early lessons.
No matter where your politics rest, this year's presidential election presents us with great opportunities to involve our children in the political process and teach them critical thinking skills. We are especially lucky to live in an area saturated with media coverage in the run up to Nov. 4 because it provides us easy ways to open discussion on important topics with our kids. In my house, we've talked about Barack Obama's upbringing and his daughters, about John McCain's time as a prisoner of war and about Sarah Palin's baby who has Down syndrome and her pregnant teenager and how those circumstances might affect their stands on the issues. We've also talked about the historic nature of this year's decision and why it's so important to really understand the issues beyond the headlines and candidate grandstanding.
Because the issues are so important this year, we have devoted a lot of pages this month to them. Although the candidates themselves refused interviews—their PR folks referred us to their Web sites for the candidates' promises—we found local experts to analyze the issues you might care about. We also offer great ideas on getting your kids interested in the election while having fun, from seeing the theater adaptation of "Duck for President" to paying a visit to the McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum and allowing them to cast their vote for the nation's next leader.
What we do now with our kids only sets the stage to increase civic involvement in the future and ultimately, that affects all of us.
I wish you all a happy fall.

After installing java 8 on windows 10 and "uecide.0.10.6-full.exe" (to get the correct jre) I started uecide. When started it tells me that there are no boards installed and it will open the plugin manager. After selecting the Arduino family in the plugin manager I see only a few information (see "plugin manager.jpg" attached).
Where/how can I select my uses boards which are connected at COM3 and COM4 (Arduino Nano and Arduino UNO)? Is this an installation problem on windows 10 or do i need other programs/files installed?
The article in WIKI about installing boards is not working. The article about "Upgrading to the new repositories" is not helpful as I cannot find the "apt/db/sources.db" and the link for the "UECIDE Data Folder" is not working.
I don't have access rights for "http://repo.uecide.org/uecide/dists/uecide/main/binary-windows-amd64/" to get the Packages.gz file - is this correct?
You should be seeing a whole lot more than you are. You have the right repository data being used, and everything looks fine - you're just not seeing the packages.
If in doubt hitting Refresh should update the list. If it doesn't restart UECIDE and try again.

This is a very mathematical question, so if it should go in another forum let me know.
My problem is in this sketch.
What I would like is for the spiral to move inwards (or outwards) without reversing direction.
I am drawing a circle at (posX,posY).
posX = screenWidth/2 + sin(theta) * scalar,
posY = screenHeight/2 + cos(theta) * scalar,
I am creating the clockwise (inwards) by decreasing the values theta and scalar, and increasing the values for the opposite. But this is simply "winding" and "rewinding" the spiral, not shrinking and growing it.

A: To avoid reversing direction simply always increase theta even when you are decreasing scalar:
  this.decenter = function(force){
    this.theta += force;
    this.scalar += force;
  }

  this.center = function(force){
    // If you start decreasing theta you will be reversing the direction of rotation.
    this.theta += force;
    this.scalar -= force;
  }

IBD Registry web tool launched!
We're delighted to announce that the web tool is now live, and the first sites are currently on track to be entering data by mid-August. We have secured the necessary permissions for hospitals in the devolved nations to access the Registry Web Tool through the N3 secure network. Outgoing president Ian Forgacs has called on all IBD teams to match the BSG's commitment to the Registry and safeguard its success by taking part, so if you're among the few who haven't registered to join yet, please see the section below on what to do next.
Transition focus on biologics
To deliver local value to teams and patients, the steering group has proposed reporting on a set of 6 key performance indicators on biologics in 2016-17, with the aim of building a UK-wide register of all people receiving biological therapies for IBD by the end of 2017. The combined UK data will become a unique resource for real-world clinical effectiveness and health economic studies in IBD care.
As a continuation of the biologics audit, the programme remains on the Quality Accounts list and the national clinical audit and patient outcomes programme (NCAPOP) in England.
An important update on consent
We have received an extension of our Section 251 exemption for England and Wales until May 2017, which means that consent is assumed unless patients opt out, and data can be submitted without formal consent. Posters (available from simone.cort@ibdregistry.org.uk) must be prominently displayed in clinic so that patients know your team is participating in the IBD Registry, but this gives clinical teams more time to gain written consent from all their patients.
An additional consent question has been added to allow for the future use of fully anonymised data in reports to commercial organisations. The new consent materials will be sent to registered users during August 2016.
If you've registered you'll be hearing from us soon about what you need to do. If you haven't already done so, please register to be part of the programme using the form at https://ibdregistry.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Registration-Form-for-participating-in-the-IBD-Registry2.pdf.

Contrary to what you might think, a knocked out tooth doesn't inevitably mean tooth loss. Time is of the essence — the shorter the interval between injury and replanting the tooth, the better the tooth's long-term survival. The longer the interval, on the other hand, the less likely the tooth can survive beyond a few years. That phenomenon is due to the mouth's natural mechanism for holding teeth in place.
The tooth root maintains its attachment with the jaw bone through an intermediary tissue known as the periodontal ligament. Tiny fibers from one side of the ligament securely attach to the tooth root, while similar fibers attach to the bone on the opposite side of the ligament. This maintains stability between the teeth and bone while still allowing incremental tooth movement in response to mouth changes like tooth wear.
While the ligament fibers will attempt to reattach to a replanted tooth's root, the longer the tooth is out of the socket the less likely the fibers will fully reattach. An "ankylosis" may instead form, in which the root attaches directly to the jaw bone without the periodontal ligament. In this situation the body no longer "recognizes" the tooth and begins to treat it like a foreign substance. In all but the rarest cases, the tooth root will begin to resorb (dissolve); at some point (which varies from patient to patient) the attachment becomes too weak for the tooth to remain in place and is lost.
Ideally, a knocked out tooth should be replanted within 5 minutes of the injury (for step-by-step instructions, refer to The Field-Side Guide to Dental Injuries available on-line at www.deardoctor.com/dental-injuries). Even if you pass the 5-minute window, however, it's still advisable to attempt replanting. With a subsequent root canal treatment (to remove dead tissue from the inner tooth pulp and seal it from infection), it's possible the tooth can survive for at least a few years, plenty of time to plan for a dental implant or similar tooth replacement.
If you would like more information on treatment for a knocked out tooth, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Knocked Out Tooth."

Denpasar may not be far from the usual touristy resort areas of Bali, but the moment you transcend to the capital of Bali, a change in atmosphere is clearly felt. The laid back beach lifestyle is instantly changed to a bustling city. Not as hectic as you may think a capital city to be, and the lack of skyscrapers, due to a Balinese custom that disallows buildings to be taller than a coconut tree, gives way for blue skies. Apart from the many busy Balinese buzzing around on their scooters, many monuments and temples can be seen around the city. Catch a glimpse of the traditional markets at Pasar Badung and see the magnificent colors of fresh produce and colorful batiks up for offer.

Sabadell's Board Evaluates 3 Offers Amounting to c. €850M For its Property Developer
28 May 2019 – El Confidencial
On Monday, Banco Sabadell received three binding offers for its property developer, Sabadell Desarrollos Inmobiliarios, from the funds Cerberus, Oaktree and a third unknown candidate, amounting to between €800 million and €900 million.
The board of directors of the Catalan entity chaired by Josep Oliu now needs to decide whether to accept one of them and thereby pave the way for the creation of a new major player in the Spanish property developer sector to compete alongside the likes of Neinor, Metrovacesa, Vía Célere and Aedas.
Oaktree has been the favourite in the bidding for the last few months given its good relationship with Sabadell and with the property developer itself, with which it already operates at least one joint venture. It would represent the US investor's first operation of its kind in Spain, where it currently has a small platform with just 20 employees.
Nevertheless, Cerberus has been gaining ground. Unlike Oaktree, the US giant already has a property development platform in Spain, Inmoglacier, to which it wants to supply new land (which SDin owns). Cerberus could also benefit from synergies between the two firms.
Meanwhile, the identity of the third candidate remains confidential, but possible contenders include Habitat (Bain Capital), Aedas and the Canadian fund CPPIB, which were all reported to be evaluating the purchase during the preliminary phase.
Initially, Sabadell was hoping to receive more than €1 billion for its property developer, but following uncertainty in the sector in recent months and the sale of several assets, it will have to accept a more modest price if a sale is to be agreed.

PAI Partners Submits a €1.5bn Binding Offer for Catering Specialist 'Áreas'
24 April 2019 – El País
The French group Elior has received a binding offer amounting to €1.542 billion from the investment group PAI Partners for Áreas, the company specialising in catering services located in travel areas and headquartered in Spain. The aim of the two parties is to close the operation this summer.
The Spanish group recorded revenues of €1.832 billion last year, making it the third largest concessions brand in its sector in the world. It will gain operational autonomy as a result of the sale.
Áreas operates in fourteen counties around the world – it is the market leader in Spain (27% market share), France and Portugal, and the third largest operator in the USA. Its 21,000 employees work in 90 airports, 84 train stations and 220 roadside service stations.
The objective of PAI Partners is to support and finance Áreas's growth plans over the next few years.

Sareb's Sale of Témpore Enters Final Phase with TPG as the Favourite
28 March 2019 – Cinco Días
Sareb's sale of its rental home Socimi Témpore Properties is entering the home stretch. The bad bank has selected three candidates to pass through to the final round, all of which are US funds, namely, TPG (Texas Pacific Group), Ares and Round Hill, with the former currently the favourite.
Témpore, which is listed on the MAB, has a market capitalisation of €305 million and, according to the most recent assessment performed by Savills Aguirre Newman, an asset portfolio worth €338 million.
In just over a month, Sareb will announce the name of the winning investor, which will take ownership of the Socimi and its 2,249 residential properties.

Sareb Re-Opens the Bidding for its Renting Housing Socimi Témpore
7 March 2019 – El Confidencial
Sareb is putting up for sale the rental home Socimi that it constituted just over a year ago. Témpore, the third largest rental home firm in the country, after Blackstone (24,000 homes) and Azora (7,000 homes), owns 2,249 homes worth around €340 million. Candidates have two months to submit their binding offers.
The bad bank constituted Témpore in 2017 to provide an exit for a portfolio of homes proceeding from the bank restructuring process, and a few months later, it debuted the firm on the MAB.
The Socimi's portfolio generated rental income of €7.3 million last year, up by 1.3% YoY, thanks to the renewal of contracts with the consequent increase in rents.
Témpore is sparking a great deal of interest amongst investors, providing further evidence of the appeal of the Spanish real estate market, especially the rental segment, for overseas investors.

Neinor Withdraws from the Purchase Process of 'Solvia Desarrollos Inmobiliarios'
28 February 2019 – El Español
Neinor Homes is not going to be one of the candidates that submits an offer to acquire Solvia Desarrollos Inmobiliarios (SDI), the subsidiary of Banco Sabadell. The real estate company has been studying the operation for a while but has concluded, following its initial analysis, that the numbers do not fit with its investment philosophy.
That is according to explanations provided by Neinor's CEO, Juan Velayos, who acknowledged that he has the sales prospectus on his desk but that at the moment, "it is not a priority" for him. We are talking about a company that has a portfolio of 300 buildable plots and which the bank led by Jaime Guardiola put up for sale in January.
Velayos himself acknowledges that he "loves the portfolio", but he's not so convinced by the numbers being seen in the market". (…). "I'm afraid that it is not going to be for us from the perspective of a disciplined investor", he said. The first valuations of SDI's land are in the region of €1.3 billion, given that the portfolio also includes 130 real estate developments in different areas with 5,000 homes under construction.
Indeed, the price of land is one of Neinor's obsessions. Over the last year, it has purchased 2,400 plots in which it has invested €95 million. Neinor's CEO believes that his firm has adopted a prudent policy in this regard (…).
As a result, it looks like Neinor will not be one of the candidates to bid for Sabadell's subsidiary in the end. The bank is awaiting possible expressions of interest for its land company. The intention is to receive binding offers before the end of this quarter and to settle the sale during the month of April.
In terms of the parties that are interested in SDI, they include some of the main international funds such as Cerberus, Värde, Oaktree and Blackstone (…).
The sale of SDI comes after Banco Sabadell sold Solvia, its real estate servicer for €300 million, for which it obtained capital gains of €185 million (…).

Sabadell Delays Completion of 'Solvia Desarrollos Inmobiliarios' Sale until May
28 February 2019 – El Confidencial
Banco Sabadell is finalising the sale of land from Solvia Desarrollos Inmobiliarios (SDIn) to complete its real estate divestment process with prices of between €900 million and €1.1 billion. The process began with more than 20 funds and property developers expressing interest. Analysts forecast that the Catalan entity will record gains of more than €200 million.
To this end, the bank chaired by Josep Oliu (pictured above, left), has already prepared a timetable. The entity has delayed the deadlines because it has taken longer than expected to receive some of the signed confidentiality agreements (NDAs). Now, the interested parties will have until 30 March to analyse SDIn and submit non-binding offers. The deadline for the subsequent period for the submission of binding offers will be 17 May.
In this way, Sabadell will have the second half of May to accept the winning bid, and then receive the corresponding authorisations to complete the divestment before July (…).
Analysts expect that the operation will be executed in the region of €1 billion, with a discount of 30% on the net asset value. Even so, that would result in capital gains from profits of more than €200 million, according to a report by Alantra, to which this newspaper has had access. In this way, the maximum quality capital ratio (CET1 fully loaded) would move towards 12%, approaching the 12.5% that the bank has set itself as a target for 2020 in its strategic plan. In December, the ratio amounted to 11.1%, well below the 12.8% from the previous year following the sale of toxic property and the problems with the integration with TSB.
The land has been valued at €1.3 billion by Savills Aguirre Newman and by the property developer SDIn itself (…).
Candidates include funds and property developers. Market sources point to Cerberus, Oaktree and Neinor homes as some of the leading contenders. The operation will require the buyer to become one of the largest real estate players in Spain (…).
In December, Banco Sabadell agreed the sale of its property developer Solvia to the Nordic fund Intrum for €300 million. Intrum is listed on the Stockholm stock exchange and is the owner of Lindorff and Aktua in Spain (…).

Aedas, Neinor & Merlin Properties Put €1bn on the Table for Sabadell's Land
29 January 2019 – OK Diario
Banco Sabadell has now opened the sales process for Solvia Desarrollos Inmobiliarios, its real estate developer, for which the entity expects to obtain €1 billion. To date, the entity chaired by Josep Oliu has already sent the teaser to almost 30 interested parties. But there has been an important development, and that is that it is not only the typical funds that tend to participate in these types of auctions that are interested in the company, property developers are also keen, including Neinor, Aedas and Merlin Properties.
It is worth remembering that when Sabadell decided to sell Solvia, it separated the house-sale business and the real estate development business into two different companies with the aim of achieving a better offer. The land, which is owned by the second firm, forms part of the bank's balance sheet and that is what is now up for sale.
According to sources speaking to OK Diario, the deadline for non-binding offers will finish in March; it will be after that when Banco Sabadell will start to receive binding offers. Sources in the know indicate that the operation will be closed in the second quarter. And, moreover, in addition to the aforementioned property developers, funds such as Cerberus, De Shaw, Blackstone, Värde, Apollo and Oaktree have also received the teaser (…).
The main plots of land owned by Solvia Desarrollos Inmobiliarios are in Madrid, Barcelona and several places along the Mediterranean Coast. The portfolio includes plots that the buyer will have to reclassify in order to be able to sell, resell or transform them, as well as plots that are ready for development. It is precisely in those assets that so many property developers have expressed their interest.
Banco Sabadell obtained a profit of €138 million from the sale of 80% of Solvia, its real estate subsidiary, to Lindorff, a company that belongs to the Intrum AB group, for €300 million. With that operation, Sabadell, which has retained ownership of the remaining 20% stake in Solvia, achieved a positive impact on its Common Equity Tier 1 ("fully loaded") capital ratio of 15 basis points.
The completion of that operation, which is subject to obtaining the corresponding authorisations, is also scheduled for the second quarter of 2019 (…).

The Fund Centricus Enters the Bid to Buy Solvia
28 November 2018 – Expansión
A candidate with an exotic air about it has entered the auction for Solvia, the real estate subsidiary controlled in its entirety by Sabadell. The fund Centricus, which is headquartered in London but which has several Chinese and Japanese shareholders, has submitted a binding offer to acquire Sabadell's asset management platform, according to sources familiar with the process.
Official sources at the bank preferred not to comment in this regard. Centricus wants to enter the Spanish market to compete with the large investment funds specialising in asset management, such as two of the other players interested in Solvia: Cerberus and Intrum, formerly Lindorff.
Centricus manages assets worth more than USD 20 billion and has worked together with the Japanese giant SoftBank to raise funds amounting to USD 100 billion at the international level.
Asian alliances
The British fund also recently joined forces with the Chinese companies China Merchants Group and SPF Group to launch a USD 15 billion fund to invest in technology companies.
Centricus, Cerberus and Intrum have all submitted binding offers for Solvia amounting to more than €300 million. According to sources close to the operation, one of the funds has even offered an amount close to the €400 million that Sabadell aspires to receive. The bank has awarded the mandate to divest Solvia to Alantra.
Sabadell activated the sale of its real estate platform after cleaning up €11.5 billion in toxic assets from its balance sheet. At that time, it preferred to not sell Solvia, like the majority of its competitors did, to try to maximise its revenues. The bank considers that the real estate platform has significant latent profits. Cerberus could be the favourite in the contest since it is now holding advanced conversations with the entity.
Natural buyer
The US fund is the "natural" buyer for Solvia, say financial sources. In fact, during the summer, Cerberus acquired two large portfolios of foreclosed properties from Sabadell (Challenger and Coliseum), with a combined gross value of €9.1 billion.
Sabadell wants to sign the sale of the real estate platform before the end of this year to have its balance sheet free of property remnants. Solvia manages 148,000 assets, with a value of more than €30 billion. In parallel, the bank has also placed up for sale its property developer subsidiary, Solvia Desarrollos Inmobiliarios. The completion of that operation has been delayed until the beginning of 2019.

Neinor & Ática Pull Out of the Bidding for the Mestalla Plots
14 November 2018 – Eje Prime
Neinor and Ática have pulled out of the bidding for the Mestalla plots. The two property developers have decided not to formalise their interest in the land that Valencia Football Club has put up for sale during the period for the presentation of non-binding offers, which terminated on Tuesday.
In the case of the property developer led by Juan Velayos, the listed company has decided not to formalise its interest due to the high percentage of land assigned for tertiary use that VFC has put on the market; it is not offering the option for interested parties to bid for each use separately. Of the 100,000 m2 in total, approximately 40% will have to be used for commercial purposes or as offices or hotel rooms.
The withdrawal of Grupo Ática, by contrast, is based on the complexity of the operation. In its case, the candidates, which were thought to include a fund as a financial partner for the Valencia-based property developer, have considered the transaction to be too high risk, according to sources speaking to València Plaza.
The candidates that are still aspiring to take over the land include the Valencian investor group Atitlán, the fund Cerberus, the property developer Aedas and the Valencian construction company Bertolín. Nevertheless, Deloitte is planning a new bidding period during which the candidates who want to continue in the process will have to convert their bids into binding offers, a commitment that they will have to make before the end of the year, on the basis of what has been seen to date.
Until now, the club has not set a price for its plots, but it estimates that the land is worth around €120 million.

Cerberus, Aedas & Neinor Compete to Acquire the Mestalla Plots in Valencia
5 November 2018 – Eje Prime
Three great players want to score a goal on the grounds of the Mestalla stadium. The US fund Cerberus and the Spanish property developers Neinor Homes and Aedas Homes are interested in acquiring the more than 100,000 m2 of residential and tertiary land that Valencia Football Club is going to release when it demolishes its stadium, according to València Plaza.
The process to sell the land, which is being led by the consultancy firm Deloitte, has already received interest from up to 25 companies, as the Director General of Valencia FC, Mateu Alemany, explained to the press last week. The value of the plots amounts to €120 million, although the club has not revealed the exact price for which it plans to sell them.
Located on Avenida Aragón, the Mestalla land will have a new owner before long. The funds and property developers that want to invest in this operation have until 8 November to place their non-binding offers on the table, with the obligation to convert them into binding offers by the end of the year.
The interest from Neinor and Aedas in these plots is in line with their investments in the Community of Valencia. In the case of the property developer led by Juan Velayos, the company already has €200 million committed in the region. Last week, Neinor announced the launch of its first 48 homes in the provincial capital, where it is now working to obtain the licence for a second development comprising one hundred homes in Quatre Carreres.
Meanwhile, Aedas is planning to build 500 homes in the Community of Valencia and has already started marketing 120 units, distributed over two blocks, which are going to be built very close to the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias. The US firm Cerberus would undertake this purchase through its property developer Inmoglacier, which opened its first office in the city opposite the Mestalla stadium at the end of October.
Several local players including Atitlán, the investment firm owned by Roberto Centeno and Aritza Rodero, Grupo Ática and the construction firm Bertolín are also on the list of candidates who want to buy Valencia FC's former grounds.
