NEW YORK, UNITED NATIONS — The president of the United Nations General Assembly proposed Thursday expanding the 15-member Security Council by nine members next year -- five of them permanent members and four non-permanent.
U.S. and British diplomats expressed reservations, saying the number is too large.
The Security Council, the UN's highest decision-making body on international security matters, now has five permanent members and 10 non-permanent members.
Assembly President Razali Ismail of Malaysia did not name any candidates for an expanded council, though Japan and Germany likely would be among the first to join as permanent members.
Razali proposed the five new permanent members be two industrialized countries and one developing country each from Asia, Africa and the Latin America-Caribbean region. The four non-permanent members would be from Africa, Asia, eastern Europe and the Latin America-Caribbean region.
The current permanent Security council members, which have veto power over council resolutions, are Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States. The new permanent members would not be granted veto powers.
Proponents of the change contend the composition of the council -- established just after World War II -- is outdated, with economic powers Japan and Germany absent and with no permanent members from Africa or Latin America.
Expansion would require an amendment to the UN Charter ratified by two-thirds of the General Assembly.

In order to improve skills in hitting various targets in the daytime and at night in difficult weather conditions, psychological training sessions were held with servicemen of sniper pairs of the Central Military District (CVO). They used new techniques to increase the level of concentration and accelerate the adaptation of snipers to adverse conditions.
During the training, the servicemen complied with the standards for fire training, conducted reconnaissance of the target, camouflaged firing positions and worked out the destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles. Snipers also learned new methods of organizing sniper ambushes.
More than 300 servicemen and about 10 units of military equipment were involved in the event.

Using Drug Diversion Detection Software for Charge Capture
In previous blogs I have reviewed the various drug diversion detection software products. We have talked about how those products can assist a facility in monitoring for possible drug diversion. Drug diversion is the act of diverting a prescription drug from its originally intended path. This diversion can take place anywhere along the medication pathway from manufacturer to patient. When referring to drug diversion, we most likely think about controlled substances, which usually goes hand in hand with an addicted healthcare worker. While this type of drug diversion can ultimately lead to the greatest safety risk, a facility can experience a large financial risk when it comes to drug diversion involving high cost medications. Some medications have high street value, so theft of these meds could/should be added to the list of medications monitored with the aid of software.
Financial loss to the facility either due to intentional diversion of high cost meds or due to repeated loss of charge capture can add up quickly. Diversion monitoring software programs can assist a facility in monitoring for lost charges. Lost charges may be a result of poor processes or poor charting compliance. Keep an eye on inventory and close the loop on removals and charting of administration if the charging is based on administration. Does your facility employ any manual charting in the OR or procedural rooms? How complete are those manual charges?
If you are a Pharmacy Director who wants a drug diversion monitoring software product but you are not having success in getting approval for the product to monitor diversion, consider a return on investment if the product was used to monitor for lost charges or theft of high cost meds. Perhaps your leadership would be more inclined to approve the purchase for what they may consider a more tangible charge capture issue.

This pair of woman’s clogs (qabqab or nalin) is most probably from Ottoman Turkey or possibly from elsewhere in the Ottoman empire. They are very high – in fact they are among the tallest examples of this type of footwear that we have seen.
Each comprises two high platforms which flare to be quite wide towards the ground, a sole, and the original raised upper metallic strap. (The undersides of the straps have been reinforced relatively recently with what seems to be a vinyl material to protect and better support the straps.)
Each is carved from wood (possibly olive wood) and inset with numerous mother-of-pearl slithers arrayed in geometric patterns along with silver or pewter wire inlay. This decoration is across all exposed wooden surfaces. It is quite profuse (compare, for example with a lower pair in the British Museum – see the image below.)
Such clogs were designed for a wealthy woman so that when worn she would be elevated above a wet and dirty floor, often in the public bathhouse or hammam. Walking, however, required the assistance of an attendant, and the higher the clog, then the more attendants who would be needed, so particularly high clogs – such as those here, which must be among the highest available – became status symbols. Their Arabic name –qabqab – derives from the sound they made when they were being used.
The pair here is in very good condition. There are no losses to the mother-of-pearl inlay. As mentioned, the toe straps have later reinforcements.

Created with BioRender. Moreover, Metformin-mediated AMPK-dependent phosphorylation of ACE2 which rescues it from poly-ubiquitination and subsequent 26S proteasomal degradation extends ACE2 half-life and thus potentially offers lung protection.
However, it is noteworthy that viral binding to the ACE2 reportedly decreases ACE2 stability and availability, leading to an imbalance in the RAAS and the manifestation of harmful biological effects vasoconstrictive, hypertrophic, fibrotic, proliferative, and pro-inflammatory effects and induction of oxidative stress in different organ systems [ 38bidonfusion anti aging ].
Precision therapeutic targets for COVID | Virology Journal | Full Text
The Metformin-mediated 1 increase in the levels of ACE2 and 2 the phosphorylation of ACE2 subsequently regulates RAAS offering cardiopulmonary protection, stability to the pulmonary endothelium, and mitigates pulmonary hypertension [ 5380 ]. Metformin-mediated mTOR inhibition A recent study revealed a reduction in mortality among SARS-CoV-2—infected diabetic nursing home residents who were on Metformin to manage their blood glucose levels, and this was correlated with potential ora collagen booster anti aging krém vélemények inhibitory effects of Metformin [ 82 ].
Mechanistically, Metformin may disrupt the interaction between the host and viral proteins necessary for viral replication, virion assembly, and pathogenesis [ 151653 ]. Gordon and colleagues identified high-confidence human protein—viral SARS-CoV-2 protein interactions, out of which 66 protein interactions could act as targets for certain drugs, such as Metformin, that the FDA has already approved [ 83 ].
Thus, the host—viral interaction opens up the avenue of co-therapies, repurposing of drugs, and identification of new drug targets.

- Within the past several months, effective treatment options have emerged and now include repurposed antivirals, corticosteroids and virus-specific antibodies.

Of particular interest is the ability of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to infect and damage the endothelial cells causing endothelial dysfunction, owing to the presence of endothelial ACE2 receptors [ 434547 ]. A higher incidence of endothelial dysfunction, hypercoagulation, higher incidence of thrombotic events, and microvascular complications was observed in COVID [ 39 — 46 ].

- Toitbel basic basic anti ránc krém
Interestingly, endothelial dysfunction mediated by diabetes-induced oxidative stress and reduced nitric oxide levels and the existence of a prothrombotic state are hallmarks of overt diabetes and possibly may exacerbate COVID—related vascular complications [ 885 ]. Bidonfusion anti aging, during diabetes, the activation of receptors of advanced glycation end products RAGE by AGE and other ligands that trigger RAGE mediate the transcription of NF-κB—dependent pro-inflammatory and cell adhesion molecule coding genes that contribute to endothelial dysfunction and chronic vascular complications and coagulation supported by the increase in vascular hyper-permeability, increased leukocyte adhesion, and extravasation in diabetes [ 86 — 89 ].
The immunomodulatory effects of Metformin as evidenced by the bidonfusion anti aging of monocyte—macrophage differentiation, suppression of the pro-inflammatory capacity of activated macrophages, and the differentiation of T cells into regulatory and memory T cells is linked to the Metformin treatment—associated activation of AMPK, subsequent mTOR inhibition, and reduction of oxidative stress [ 92 ].
Furthermore, Metformin reportedly inhibits RAGE-mediated NF-κB activation and subsequent up-regulation of genes that code for several pro-inflammatory cytokines and cell adhesion molecules in vascular endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and macrophages, thus dampening the inflammatory and immune response and thus conferring vascular protection [ 93 — 97 ].
Metformin maintains pancreatic homeostasis, owing to its beneficial effects on β-cells by reducing insulin resistance, increasing viability of β-cells, and promoting glucose metabolism [ 98]. Insulin signaling has a prominent role in boosting the immune system and fighting against infections. The central immune cells such as T cells, B cells, or macrophages express insulin receptors IRs [ ]. Poor T-cell function correlates with low viral clearance and inadequate vaccine response, often associated with impaired insulin signaling [ ].
Metformin alters endosomal pH and virus survival Viruses use various escape mechanisms to evade host surveillance and gain entry into the host cell. The mode of viral entry depends upon the host cell type, and the endocytic route of SARS-CoV-2 in primary lung epithelial cells was established. This endocytosis process was pH- and receptor-dependent and involved the binding of viral spike protein with the ACE2 receptor, followed by the internalization of the virus and the ACE2 receptor into the endosome and recycling of the ACE2 receptors back to the surface of the cell surface membrane [ ].
Endosomal pH is a crucial factor for virus survival within the host cell. Hence, targeting endosomes for therapeutic intervention using drugs capable of altering the endosomal pH may inhibit viral maturation, assembly, and survival within the host cell.
Considering the different modes of viral entry of SARS CoV-2, targeting endosomal pH is significant in the endocytic mode of viral replication but bidonfusion anti aging necessarily in the membrane fusion mode of viral entry. Metformin on gut microbiota Metabolic syndrome like diabetes is often associated with leaky gut and increased systemic infection [ ]. Evidence shows that disease severity, as indicated by cytokines and inflammatory markers, is linked to gut microbiome composition, thus emphasizing the immunomodulatory role of the gut microbiome [ ].
Gut microbes such as Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Eubacterium rectale, irányítószám soerens svájc anti aging several bifidobacterial species known for their immunomodulatory roles were depleted in patients with COVID [ ]. Reports from in vivo studies demonstrated that changes in the gut microbiota influence intestinal integrity, permeability, and glucose tolerance, which may partially explain the COVID progression in type 2 diabetes [ ].
Furthermore, ACE2, expressed in the gastrointestinal tissue, regulates gut homeostasis and innate immune function. Overall, Metformin, beyond its classical action as an antidiabetic drug, reveals significant therapeutic potential against COVID, including its influence as an antimicrobial agent, immunomodulatory agent, and ACE2 stabilizer, and agent that regulates gut microbiota composition and maintains gut homeostasis.

A Richmond County School Officer was arrested Tuesday after an investigation into a stolen duty weapon revealed she was involved in illegal drug activity with another woman, authorities said.
BOE Public Safety Officer Gretchen Moran was arrested in Augusta and former Thomson Police Officer Ashley Hunter is being sought. The are both accused of participating in “illegal activity that involved drug use and drug sales,” a sheriff’s press release said. Moran is pictured second from left in above Facebook photo, and at right in booking photo.
The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office began an investigation at the request of the Richmond County Board of Education Public Safety Office because BOE Public Safety Officer Gretchen Moran reported that her duty weapon and equipment were stolen from her assigned BOE patrol car on Jan. 17. Moran previously reported that the light bar and hubcaps were also stolen off of her assigned patrol car on Sept. 30.
During the course of the investigation, authorities uncovered the drug operation. A press release did not describe the extent of the drug operation.
Moran was arrested and booked into the Charles B. Webster Detention Center and charged with Violation of Oath of Office and Use of Communication Device in Committing a Felony, a report says.

Pakistan’s influential Muslim religious scholars, including Grand Mufti Rafi Usmani, on Monday made a passionate appeal to the warring Taliban and the government to observe an immediate ceasefire.
"We appeal to the government of Pakistan and the Taliban in the name of Allah and His noble Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to observe a ceasefire with immediate effect and desist from any armed activity until the proposed peace talks conclude," the scholars said in a joint statement following an emergency meeting in Islamabad.
The appeal came after three successive attacks in the northwestern city of Peshawar, which borders Afghanistan, within one week.
The Taliban had claimed responsibility for a blast targeting a bus carrying government employees in Peshawar on Thursday, killing 20 people.
It said the attack was in retaliation for the alleged killing and torture of Taliban prisoners in Pakistani jails.
However, the militant group denied any involvement in the deadly twin suicide attacks on a Peshawar church on Tuesday, killing over 80 people.
The Taliban also distanced itself from Sunday’s bombing near a police station in the historical Kissa Khuwani Bazaar area which killed 45 people.
The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is an alliance of militant groups that have been battling the Pakistani army in different parts of the northwestern tribal belt for the past decade.
Earlier this month, Pakistan's political and military leadership decided to pursue peace talks with the Taliban in a bid to end the homegrown militancy.
The meeting was attended by Dr. Sher Ali Shah, who is considered the "Ustad" (teacher) of various senior Taliban leaders, including Mullah Omer, the Taliban’s Supreme Leader.
"It is a matter of satisfaction that the government, the army and the Taliban have agreed to end the civil war and bring peace in the country," said the statement.
"However, there are some elements who want to derail the process," it warned.
The statement insisted that negotiation is the only way to steer the country out of war and external conspiracies.
"Undue use of force and bloodshed are not a permanent solution to any problem," the influential scholars contended.
They expressed their deep grief and sorrow over the killing of innocent people in attacks, and offered their condolence to the families of the deceased.
Rahimullah Yusufzai, a Peshawar-based security analyst and expert on Afghan and tribal affairs, sees the development as "very important".
"It will increase burden on the Taliban to come to the table and stop their (militant) activities as the appealers are not ordinary people but they are those who enjoy great respect within the Taliban ranks," he told the Anadolu Agency.
Yusufzai noted that the Taliban had so far not given any positive response to the government’s peace talks offer.
"The government is already ready for peace talks. The Taliban have not shown any interest in this regard," he added.
"But, now they (Taliban) have to show their sincerity because if they do not listen to the appeal of their grand scholars, they will lose support within their own circles," argues the expert.
The scholars belong to the Dubendi school of thought, to which the Taliban adheres.

Volkswagen electric saloon nearly ready
Volkswagen’s long awaited electric saloon is edging closer to production as advanced-stage development testing of the Tesla Model 3 rival begins ahead of its 2023 launch. Through its light camouflage, a recently spotted prototype bore all the hallmarks of a car that’s nearly ready for a reveal, suggesting a public debut could come before 2022 is up.
However, the immediate priority for Volkswagen is the launch of the retrofuturistic ID Buzz, which is set to be unwrapped in a matter of weeks. Like the ID Buzz (and the already launched ID 3, ID 4 and ID 5), the new saloon will use the Volkswagen Group’s MEB EV architecture and be offered with a range of batteries and drivetrain set-ups. The most powerful version, which is expected to wear the GTX badge, is likely to use a 296bhp dual-motor arrangement, while the longest-range variant will muster around 431 miles between charges, a Volkswagen official previously told Autocar.
It is essentially an allelectric equivalent to the Passat – as the ID 3 is to the Golf – and like that car will be offered in estate form, as previewed in 2019 by the ID Space Vizzion concept. The model’s development name is Aero-B, but it has not been given an official name yet. Originally, it was thought the new arrival would be sold under the ID 6 moniker, but that has since been taken by a new electric SUV, which was launched in China last year.

ST. PAUL, MINN. — Andrew Brunette's power-play goal in overtime lifted the Wild to a 4-3 win over the Ducks on Tuesday night in Minnesota's home opener.
Trailing, 3-0, with less than 14 minutes to play in the third period, the Wild got goals from Mikko Koivu, Petr Sykora and Eric Belanger to send the game to overtime.
The Ducks got second-period goals from Joffrey Lupul, Evgeny Artyukhin and Saku Koivu, but were held to only two shots in the third period.
Looking to bounce back after losing to San Jose, 4-1, at the Honda Center on Saturday, the Ducks instead let a seemingly secure lead slip away.
With the teams skating four on four in overtime, the Ducks' James Wisniewski was penalized for roughing during a post-whistle skirmish. Brunette poked a puck past goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere on the ensuing power play for the Wild's first win this season.
Lupul, who returned to the Ducks in the June trade that sent defenseman Chris Pronger to Philadelphia, opened the scoring with his first goal of the season near the five-minute mark of the second period, tipping a Ryan Whitney shot past goalie Niklas Backstrom.
Less than a minute later, Lupul was helped from the ice after going down to block an Antti Miettinen shot and getting hit in the face by the puck. He returned after receiving stitches over his right eyebrow.
Artyukhin and Koivu scored in quick succession later, building a 3-0 lead for the Ducks.
Giguere finished with 28 saves.


In Tip #70, we learned that deadtime was the key to loop performance. The Control Talk blog The ABCs of Controller Tuning describes how tuning settings can be reduced to a simple function of deadtime. The InTech magazine article PID Tuning Rules and the article’s online appendices describe the fundamental relationships between deadtime, performance, and tuning. Fortunately, deadtime is the easiest aspect of process dynamics to identify.
The deadtime is the delay between a change in control output and the beginning of the resulting change in the process variable. To ensure that it is a process response and not noise or coincident unmeasured disturbances, you must ensure that the response is in the right direction and is sustained.
Once measured and confirmed, the deadtime is used by a deadtime block to create an old PV from a new PV at the block input. The ΔPV added to the current PV is a predicted PV on deadtime in the future, which opens up all sorts of opportunities (Tip #90). Convert the ΔPV to a percent of measurement scale. If you divide the Δ%PV by the deadtime (θo), you have a continuous train of ramp rates (Δ%PV/Δt) that are updated with every execution of the block.
The ramp rate can be used for a smarter integral mode and feedforward action (Tip #92). If you divide this ramp rate by the change in controller output, you have the integrating process gain (Ki) (Equation 1) that can be used for controller tuning, rapid modeling, and adapting dynamic models online (Tip #98). If you divide a steady-state open loop gain (Ko) by the integrating process gain, you have the open loop time constant (τo) for a self-regulating process (Equation 2). The open loop gain (Ko) can be approximated as the ratio of percent process variable (%PV) to the (%CO) controller output at the setpoint. If you have knowledge of another operating point (%PVo, %COo) or know the %PVo when the controller output is zero (%COo=0), you can subtract these other operating point values from the values at the setpoint to create deviation variables that give a more accurate open loop gain (Equation 3).
The ramp rate for level can be used to create a rate of change of vessel level or weight for an inferential measurement of flow. The deadtime block must use a deadtime much larger than the process deadtime so that the ΔPV, and consequently the ramp rate, is much larger than noise.
Concept: The identification of deadtime and ramp rate opens up a wide spectrum of opportunities. The use of a deadtime block creates a continuous train of ramp rates as fast as the block executes.
Details: Use auto-tuner software, adaptive tuner software, or the rapid modeler composite template library block to identify the deadtime, ramp rate, and the integrating process gain or open loop gain, and open loop time constant for any large change in controller output or feedforward signal. Use a noise band to screen out insignificant changes. Make sure the identifier is looking for a change in the right direction. Use a time interval much larger than the deadtime to increase the signal-to-noise ratio when computing the ramp rate for the rate of change of level and weight for an inferential flow measurement.
Also increase the time interval when computing the slope of batch processes for batch end point and cycle time optimization (Tip #96). For inverse response, the deadtime will be increased automatically and the ramp rate measured will be based on the response in the right direction. The method can be used to identify the dynamics between any process input and process output. Use the simple relationship between a true integrating or near-integrating process and a self-regulating process to convert between an integrating process gain and steady-state dynamics; that is, open loop gain and open loop time constant.
A deadtime block in the identification of the ramp rate and the subsequent integrating process gain is essential to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and provide a continuous train of values. Use the identified dynamics to adapt tieback models (Tip #98). Use deviation variables to get a more accurate open loop gain. For an integrating process or runaway process models, subtract a load equal to normal controller output from the current controller output. This load stops the ramp or divergence when the current controller output balances out the load.
Watch-Outs: The deadtime and ramp rate should only be identified for setpoint changes and output changes in manual, remote output, and output tracking mode that are large enough to make noise and unmeasured disturbances negligible. The deadtime cannot be identified in automatic, cascade, or remote cascade mode if there are no setpoint changes or no injection of a known change in controller output.
Exceptions: Dynamics cannot be identified accurately for processes with a deadtime approaching the execution time of the deadtime block or the identification module.
Insight: The identification of deadtime and ramp rate can provide tuning, rapid modeling, and future values for smart reset, feedforward, and setpoint responses.
Rule of Thumb: Use a deadtime block to create a continuous train of old PV that when subtracted from the current PV and divided by the deadtime creates a continuous train of ramp rate updates as fast as the deadtime block execution time.


Unfortunately, very little information has been preserved about the development of M. Atchisson. The prototypes of the original weapons were completely lost. For this reason, at present, one has to rely only on fragmentary information and a few drawings or photographs. For example, the original small-caliber submachine gun remained in only one photograph. Nevertheless, M. Atchisson’s weapon is of great interest with historical points of view.
Atchisson Model 1957
The first known development of M. Atchisson in the field of small arms was the submachine gun of type 1957, created in the second half of the fifties. Within the framework of this project, the gunsmith developed a fairly simple weapon suitable for solving the assigned tasks. Apparently, one of the main goals of the project was to maximally simplify the design and reduce the size of the weapon. For this reason, the Model 1957 submachine gun has received several characteristic features.

The appearance of some parts suggests that the promising weapon was not developed from scratch, and in its design some parts borrowed from other samples were used. For example, it was proposed to place a detachable box magazine in a small reception shaft with a characteristic extension at the bottom and side recesses, which makes it possible to suspect the use of parts of a German MP-38 / 40 submachine gun.
The basis of the design of the submachine gun arr. 1957 was a tubular receiver, inside which were placed all the main parts. From below, an oblong casing with a firing mechanism and a shop shaft was attached to it. An interesting feature of this weapon was the absence of a separate pistol grip. Hold a submachine gun was offered for the store, located right behind the trigger. For comfortable holding with two hands on the lower oblong housing a wooden forearm was provided.
In front of the receiver was placed rifled barrel caliber 9 mm long 203 mm. Behind the barrel housed the bolt and return-combat spring. The shutter was made in the form of a massive cylindrical block with a drummer on the front surface. Apparently, when assembling weapons, the bolt and spring were placed in the receiver box through the rear end, which was closed with a round cover.
The submachine gun had an automatic based on a free shutter. Under the action of a recoil pulse and a spring, the shutter had to sequentially move back and forth, carrying out the process of reloading and firing. Locking the barrel was not provided. In the lower case, located under the receiver, there was a trigger mechanism with several modes of operation. Above the trigger was displayed flag fuse-translator fire. With it, USM could block and also switch to single or automatic fire.
The Atchisson Model 1957 submachine gun was supposed to use Parabellum 9x19 pistol cartridges. Due to the medium length barrel, it was possible to ensure the initial speed of the bullet at the level of 360-365 m / s. The firing range was declared at the level of 200 m, however, effective fire could be conducted only at smaller distances.
The supply of ammunition was to be carried out from box magazines on the 32 cartridge, placed in the lower receiving shaft of the weapon. During firing, the bolt independently sent the upper cartridge from the magazine to the chamber, and after the shot, threw the spent cartridge through a window in the upper surface of the receiver.
The Atchisson submachine gun had a distinctive design that affected the convenience of its retention. During the shooting, the weapon should have been held by the store and its shaft, as well as by the wooden forearm. For confident aimed fire, the shooter could use a butt. This device was made in the form of a curved metal rod. The front straight ends of this rod were included in the mounting on the receiver, which allowed to put the butt, moving it forward. At the same time, the frame back plate remained under the back of the box.
Probably, at least one experienced submachine gun of the new model was used, which was used in the tests. However, accurate information on the number of weapons produced and the results of inspections are not available. It can be assumed that the project was recognized as unsuccessful and unpromising. For this reason, the prototype (or samples) was disposed of as unnecessary. To date, only a few images of these weapons and a brief description have survived.
Already in the sixties, Maxwell Atchisson began work on a new project of a submachine gun. This weapon was planned to be used for training purposes, which affected its main features. So, in view of the absence of the need for high firepower, it was decided to use the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. Such ammunition allowed the necessary efficiency to prepare shooters with minimal expenditure on ammunition. The applied cartridge influenced the name of the weapon: in a number of sources it is designated as .22 SMG (“Submachine gun .22”).
Unfortunately for historians and weapons lovers, only one photo of the Atchisson submachine gun under a small-caliber cartridge has been preserved. Available descriptions also do not differ in detail. However, this sample is worth considering.
As can be seen in the existing photo, the proposed submachine gun should have several basic features. For ease of use, he received a full-fledged wooden box, similar to that used on rifles. Another curious feature of the weapon was the drum shop for 70 cartridges. Due to the relatively small size and weight of the selected ammunition, it was not possible to place a significant amount of ammunition in the largest magazine. From the available data it follows that the body of the store consisted of two main parts: the main cylindrical and a small upper rectangular. The latter was intended to be placed in the receiving window of the box and the receiver. This design of ammunition systems also did not preclude the use of existing box stores.
The details of the .22 SMG M. Atchisson's design are unknown. Apparently, the automatic for automatic pistol-machine guns based on the free gate, which could work correctly even with a relatively low-power cartridge, were used. In this case, all the details of automation were placed in the receiver, mounted on the bed. The trigger mechanism probably allowed firing single or bursts, and also equipped with a fuse.
The only remaining image of a submachine gun chambered for .22 LR suggests that Atchisson and his colleagues produced at least one prototype of the new weapon and conducted some of its tests. The photo clearly shows that the weapon fired, although it would be impossible to determine the mode of fire, for obvious reasons.
The fate of the only prototype .22 SMG is unknown. Information about the presence of this sample in museums or private collections is missing. Serial production did not start. Moreover, it is possible that the draft of the new weapon was not offered to potential customers and was closed at the end of the first tests.
In the seventies, Maxwell Atchisson developed the AAS automatic rifle, on the basis of which the AA-12 product was later created. Thanks to these weapons Atchisson gained fame among the general public. However, this was not the only development of the constructor. According to reports, over the years the gunsmith received two and a half dozen patents for certain inventions and innovations in the field of small arms and small-caliber artillery systems. Thus, the two variants of submachine guns remaining at the development and verification stage could contribute to the emergence of new projects and therefore deserve to take their place in the history of small arms.

English cricket bosses and Premiership rugby chiefs announced on Wednesday they would join football’s boycott of social media in a show of solidarity against racism and discrimination.
A coalition of football organisations including the English Football Association and Premier League revealed they would go silent on their channels from 1400 GMT on Friday until 2259 GMT on Monday.
A number of high-profile footballers have been racially abused online in recent months, prompting calls for tougher action from social media giants.
Broadcasters BT Sport and Talksport have announced they will be taking part in the protest along with Adidas, which manufactures more than a third of Premier League kits.
The England and Wales Cricket Board will be joined by all 18 first-class counties and the MCC in boycotting the platforms.
“As a sport, we are united in our commitment to fight racism and we will not tolerate the kind of discriminatory abuse that has become so prevalent on social media platforms,” said ECB chief executive Tom Harrison.
“Social media can play a very positive role in sport, widening its audience and connecting fans with their heroes in a way that was never possible before.
“However, players and supporters alike must be able to use these platforms safe in the knowledge they do not risk the prospect of facing appalling abuse.”
It was announced later Wednesday that all 12 of England’s top-flight rugby union clubs would be joining the boycott as part of its support for BT’s new campaign to tackle online hate, called Draw The Line.
“This is the first stage of a multi-million pound BT campaign to step up and stand against hate speech and abuse on social media,” Premiership Rugby said on its website.
“Additionally, Premiership Rugby and all our clubs will unite with other sports including football for a social media boycott…This boycott is supported by the Rugby Players’ Association.”
The weekend’s boycott, also being implemented by the Lawn Tennis Association, follows social media blackouts by Swansea, Birmingham and Rangers football clubs in recent weeks.
German Bundesliga club Hoffenheim said on Monday they would also be joining the boycott.

Earlier this fall, Texas’ Republican House Speaker told newspapers he wants the legislature to focus on revenues, not spending corrections. This week, California’s Democratic governor is asking his state to approve increases in their sales and income taxes.
Both CA’s Jerry Brown and TX’s Joe Straus are wrong. Neither state suffers from revenue problems; it’s the spending.
Back in 2003, when Texas, California and other states were similarly facing budget shortfalls and tough economic times, newspaper editorial writers and political pundits opined that unless the Lone Star State adopted an income tax civilization was in peril.
Wisely ignoring them, lawmakers cut spending and made several important systemic reforms. As a result, entrepreneurs fled the high-tax states (like California) and jobs moved to the Lone Star State.
Now Gov. Brown is telling Californians that the choice is new revenues or damage to the education system, and Mr. Straus recently echoed the recent words of Barack Obama on the need to raise revenues.
Texas’ House speaker told the El Paso Times the legislature has “no choice… you can’t cut your way to prosperity.”
Demands for more money always includes threats against people: give government more money or watch the schools get slashed, let criminals roam the streets, or see grandpa tossed to the street. (We know tax hikes really do erode prosperity, destroy jobs and limit freedom…)
But there is nowhere to cut? Really?
According to Joe Smith at TexasISD.com, the state of Texas is paying a half-billion dollars over five years to a London-based vendor to implement a new statewide test. It’s a test that will inevitably tell us very little of actual use. Tests created by outside vendors for beaucracy rarely say little other than what the beaucracy wants to hear. That’s why after doubling per-pupil spending over the last decade in Texas, our SAT scores are flat, drop-out rates remain staggering, and half of our students entering the state’s universities require remediation.
Foolish ventures like this are why Texas state government spending has grown nearly 300 percent since 1990, while the combination of population and inflation has risen at half that rate.
And we know growing government and raising taxes are loser issues with voters. Three-fourths of Texas voters earlier in the year reported that they were more interested in a budget-cutter than a tax-raiser. That means a responsive legislative leadership team would be knuckling down on spending, not parroting the talking points of liberals.
In the last three Republican primaries, 90 percent of voters agreed to a ballot question asking if all levels of government should be strictly limited. Unfortunately, not only did Speaker Straus’ “Republican” leadership team ignore this policy plea, he didn’t include limits on government spending in his recent “interim charges” leading up to the next session. After all, Joe Straus wants legislators focused on bringing new revenues, not pursuing efficiency and restraint.
Not surprisingly, folks like Speaker Straus and Gov. Brown have their supporters among the spenders and government vendors. A California State University professor says that it’s time for her state to “lead the rest of the country” in raising taxes.
Texas voters in 2012 should be concerned we have a legislative leadership in Austin that might be willing to follow Sacramento… right over an economic cliff.

Yesterday I told my husband that I found a great "Cinnamon-Raisin Muffin" recipe (his favorite kind). Then I made some changes to this recipe, as follows: 1 1/4 c white flour, 1 1/4 c whole wheat, 1 c rolled oats, 1/2 c wheat germ, 1 1/2 c butter with 2 1/2 c applesauce and 1 1/2 c raisins (soaked in hot water to plump them up), 1 c brown sugar, 1/2 c white sugar...everything else I left the same. I topped with a little brown sugar, too. He LOVED it!!!! He usually just picks at the recipes from this site because I'm always trying to make them healthy, so this time I didn't say anything and he has NO idea that he's eating something that is actually somewhat good for him! I'm still giggling over it! ** Next time I will put in 2 c of raisins; even with the extra 1/2 c it didn't seem like there were that many.**

Over the years, fingerprinting has evolved from an inky mess to pressing fingers on sensor screens to even a few touch-free systems that work at a short distance. Now a company has developed a prototype of a device that can scan fingerprints from up to two meters away, an approach that could prove especially useful at security checkpoints in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.
The device, called AIRprint, is being developed by Advanced Optical Systems (AOS). It detects fingerprints by shining polarized light onto a person’s hand and analyzing the reflection using two cameras configured to detect different polarizations.
Joel Burcham, director for projects at the Huntsville, Alabama-based company, says AIRprint could help make authorization more efficient in lots of settings. Instead of punching a keypad code or pressing fingers to a scanner, individuals could simply hold up a hand and walk toward a security door while the device checks their identity. “We’re looking at places where the standard methods are a hassle,” says Burcham. For instance, AIRprint could be linked to a timecard system, he says, to help avoid a logjam at manufacturing plants at the start or end of the workday.
Slightly smaller than a square tissue box, AIRprint houses two 1.3 megapixel cameras and a source of polarized light. One camera receives horizontally polarized light, while the other receives vertically polarized light. When light hits a finger, the ridges of the fingerprint reflect one polarization of light, while the valleys reflect another. “That’s where the real kicker is, because if you look at an image without any polarization, you can kind of see fingerprints, but not really well,” says Burcham. By separating the vertical and the horizontal polarization, the device can overlap those images to produce an accurate fingerprint, which is fed to a computer for verification.

A strong recovery requires leadership, bold ideas, and action — and we need your help! Add your name if you'll stand with Currie Dixon and the Yukon Party!
WHITEHORSE - Yukon Party Official Opposition Housing Critic Yvonne Clarke is questioning the Liberal government’s inconsistency regarding federal funding for housing.
In response to her April 14 question in the Legislative Assembly about the fact that the Northwest Territories and Nunavut each received double the amount of money for housing in the federal budget, the Premier told the Legislature that federal housing money had been diverted to the Atlin Hydro Expansion Project.
This was notable because it meant that funding intended for housing in the Yukon instead went to a project without any Yukon ownership, and based outside of the territory.
The Premier fueled this inconsistency earlier this month at the Northern Premiers Conference. He criticized the federal government for not providing enough housing support and called for a renewed partnership with consistent and adequate funding.
“When asked about why the Yukon was short-changed on housing money in the federal budget, the Premier said that they had requested federal housing money be redirected to another priority,” said Clarke. “Now the Premier is claiming that housing will continue to be an issue ‘without consistent and adequate funding’ from the federal government.”
While the Atlin hydro project will partially address the energy supply gaps in the Yukon, Yukoners deserve to know why the Liberal government decided to direct funding meant for much-needed housing to a hydro project in BC, especially when the Premier is criticizing the federal government for inadequate funding for housing.
Over the course of the Spring Spitting, Clarke pressed the Liberal government to focus more attention and resources towards the housing crisis.
“Yukoners are increasingly concerned about affordability and access to housing in the Yukon,” Clarke added. “We have been proposing solutions such as immediately identifying unused government land to release for private sector development, creating tax incentives to encourage rental developments, and to stop delaying the release of lots in Whistle Bend. I remain hopeful that the Liberal government considers some of these suggestions.”
Premier Silver in Question Period April 14, 2022 Hansard Page 1891:
Hon. Mr. Silver: Mr. Speaker, what the members opposite are not telling you is there is dedicated funding to three territories. That’s $60 million to Nunavut, $60 million to Northwest Territories, and $62.2 million to Yukon. Now, out of that, what they’re also not telling is that $32.2 million did not go to the other two territories for hydro expansion. That’s what we put our money for; that’s the money that we got from the federal government.
So, the members opposite can make it seem like the federal government is somehow turning a blind eye to housing, but on the contrary, actually, another half-billion dollars over the next five years is going to self-governing and treaty First Nations for housing as well. That is a massive influx of money to First Nations who are self-governing. We have 11 self-governing First Nations here in Yukon. The challenge that we’re going to have is to be able to work with the First Nation governments to make sure that we’re planning properly and coordinating a bumper crop of money when it comes to housing from the federal government.
The members opposite can spin it any way they want, but the reality is we are aflush with federal support that we will spend. Again, when the members opposite got federal money for affordable housing, they sat on it for years. We will not do that. We will make sure that we work with the First Nations. I will say as well, the Yukon Days and the Yukon Forum — these are the conversations that really helped the federal government decide where they’re going to focus their attention when it comes to housing.
Premier Silver at the Northern Premiers Conference May 9, 2022:
You know, there's lots of changes that we want to see in support of housing in the north, increasing the long term and sustainable federal funding. It's one thing to say that we're going to announce funding dollars. But Caroline mentioned, you know, there's operations and maintenance considerations that are extremely important to to have this longer term vision than just building buildings. It's not about building buildings. It's about communities. Building communities, building homes for people. More consultation is needed in the design of federal programs that are designed to accommodate these housing needs. A renewed partnership with the federal government is needed in long term sustainable, adequate housing in general without consistent and adequate funding, governments in the North, too, to the governments in the north, housing will continue to be an issue in the north.


Strong Championship on Land of Enchantment Day
Top horses line up at Zia Park.
November 20, 2014
Perhaps the deepest field of older horses in the 10-year history of Zia Park, topped by All American Gold Cup (G1) winner DM Streakn Thru Fire and Bank of America Challenge Championship (G1) winner Stimulus, goes to the gate in the $150,000 Zia Park Championship (G1) on Wednesday at Zia Park.
The 440-yard Zia Park Championship is the top Quarter Horse race during Land of Enchantment Day at the Hobbs, New Mexico track. Also on the card is the $140,000 New Mexico Quarter Horse Fillies And Mares Championship for New Mexico-bred fillies and mares.
DM Streakn Thru Fire and Stimulus will each be saddled by Justin Joiner.
Owned by Richard Sturdevant, Terry Wootan and Joe David Yates, DM Streakn Thru Fire (Walk Thru Fire-Sashay N Six by Sixarun) defends his 2013 win in the Zia Park Championship and comes off a victory in the $200,000 All American Gold Cup (G1) at Ruidoso Downs.
A year ago, DM Streakn Thru Fire won the Zia Park Championship at 27-1 odds by a neck over Feature Mr Bojangles. The 6-year-old gelding has proven to be an upset specialist. He did not win again until he fought to a neck win in the All American Gold Cup at 26-1 odds on August 30, his most recent start.
In his start after last year’s Zia Park Championship, DM Streakn Thru Fire finished third in the $350,000 The Championship at Sunland Park (G1).
Jerry Windham’s homebred Stimulus (Mr Jess Perry-Veva Jean by Runaway Winner) makes his first start after the most important victory of his career.
A half brother to world champion Stolis Winner and Rainbow Futurity (G1) winner Trendi, Stimulus dominated the $350,000 Bank of America Challenge Championship (G1) by two lengths at Prairie Meadows on October 18. Two starts ago, he qualified for the Bank of America Challenge Championship with a head win in the $77,120 Bank of America Prairie Meadows Challenge (G2).
Stimulus has four wins and a pair of seconds from seven starts this year. Lifetime, the gelding has raced to six wins, three seconds and a pair of thirds from 13 starts.
Owned by R.D. Hubbard, William Maher, Tom Maher and Johnny Cope, Hes Relentless (One Famous Eagle-This Dreams Flying by Strawfly Special) won the $175,121 Hobbs America Derby (G3) over the Zia Park track in his latest effort. He won by 1 1/2 lengths as the 1-2 favorite and was timed in a fast :21.222 for the 440 yards.
The Jason Olmstead-trained colt was the fastest qualifier to the Hobbs America Derby when he won his trial by three quarters of a length in :21.268.
The winner of four of seven starts at a quarter mile, Hes Relentless was third in the $1,049,000 Rainbow Derby (G1) at Ruidoso Downs last summer.
Melvin Neugebauer’s homebred 10-year-old Miracle Snow (Dean Miracle-Snow Peak by Chicks Beduino) takes on open horses after a stellar year racing against New Mexico-breds. He won three consecutive stakes races as the favorite before running fourth in the $170,480 Namehimastreaker New Mexico Classic Cup Championship (RG1) as the 3-1 favorite.
Miracle Snow is making his 59th career start and has 17 wins, 10 seconds and 11 thirds while earning $725,451.
In the New Mexico Fillies And Mares Championship at 400 yards, Bobby Simmons’ Foxy Moonflash (First Moonflash-Diamonds N Rainbows by Rabbits Rainbow) shoots for her third straight win and fourth win in her latest five starts. Her only defeat was when she was a troubled second in the $139,943 Zia Derby (RG2) at Ruidoso Downs last summer.
Foxy Moonflash stepped up for trainer Sleepy Gilbreath in her latest effort when she sped to a one-half-length win in the $207,482 New Mexico Classic Derby (RG2) at Zia Park. She was the fastest qualifier to the New Mexico Classic Derby with a :21.840 time for 440 yards while facing a stiff headwind.
Jill Giles’ homebred Penny Snatchin (Gone To The Mountain-Himaintenancegal by Dean Miracle) makes her first appearance since winning the $60,000 Pelican Stakes over state-bred distaffers back in August. She easily won by three quarters of a length. Her other win from six 2014 starts came in the $45,000 Tommy “Duke” Smith Handicap (RG2) at SunRay Park back in June.

WOMEN AWAKENING TO HORMONE DISRUPTION
Remember the popular old song by Roberta Flack: Killing Me Softly...?
There is a new epidemic in our midst that is doing exactly that. It is not directly killing people so much as it is draining our life force, leaving us feeling that we're living half a life. This epidemic is gland disruption to due environmental pollution; that's right, it's a slowdown in production and proper utilization of our bodies hormones due to toxic chemicals, often closely related to hormones in their chemical makeup, that confuse our endocrine systems, causing hormone havoc.
You may know the feeling - millions of women constantly say "something's wrong with my hormones". But if you go to see a doctor, they often do a few simple blood tests then happily proclaim "your tests came back normal; you're fine!"
The problem is, you're not feeling fine, and you know something isn't right. You may be tired all the time, depressed, sluggish mentally, gaining weight despite eating very little, or have one or more of hundreds of annoying little symptoms (like nails breaking, hair loss, excess hair on face, hoarseness of the voice, low - or no- libido, even lots of problems with PMS, fertility issues, or menopause).
So what's a woman to do? 80% of hormone problems occur in women, due to our complex biology. There are various stages in our lives, often puberty, childbirth, menopause, or when we have excess stress or crisis when our hormones tend to easily go off balance. The good news is - however - that we can learn to re-balance them ourselves, with simple home testing and natural products.
As a doctor-nurse team in practice for 30 years, we have worked with thousands of women who have been told by their doctors "it's all in your head". Many have been given estrogen compounds, sadly, when they are actually estrogen dominant (doctors often do not test estrogen levels, even gynecologists, yet they prescribe this heavy hormone readily, despite serious repercussions that led to stopping the famous study "The Women's Health Initiative"!).
So what can you do to protect your health and restore hormone balance? Our program is as simple as 1 - 2 - 3.
- Determine your "endo-type"
using our popular book FEELING FAT, FUZZY OR FRAZZLED? Chapter 3 is devoted to questionnaires to help you figure out whether it's thyroid, adrenal, or sex glands causing you the most challenge. Then, you can confirm your endo-type using home testing.
- Start taking some of the products recommended based on your endocrine type. These are high-quality nutraceutical products, often sold only in doctor's offices, but they are not pharmaceuticals; they are natural products with targeted vitamins, minerals, and herbs, to help you jumpstart your gland health. You can order these directly using the information provided in the back of our book (or from our website www.FeelingFFF.com). This will provide the essential nutrients your specific gland needs to begin to restore and work better.
- Live Right for Your Endo-Type
Once you've been taking these products and eating and exercising as we've suggested, you will begin to come alive again. Many women come to our office every day saying "I feel that I've gotten my life back". It's that simple - toxic chemicals are binding on the receptor sites where our hormones need to do their work, preventing our bodies from working right. Once you enhance your gland's potential, it can begin to work properly, undoing the damage of years of disruption.
Part of our collective "awakening" as women is to reclaim our full self. The "Fat-Fuzzy-Frazzled" program allows you to do this, quickly and reasonably, by following specific suggestions and by following your heart.
And - if your heart leads you to take an activist role in reducing toxic chemicals in the environment, our book will give you enough information to get you started. Be sure to join the Canary Club, a consumer advocacy group to help create a powerful voice for a healthy environment.
There are many ways you can work to reduce the toxic load by minimizing exposure in your home, workplace, and world.
We wish you wellness, now and always!

KARACHI: Several small and big protest demonstrations against the hanging of Mumtaz Qadri caused a massive traffic jam on city's roads including the busiest thoroughfare Shahrah-e-Faisal on Monday evening.
The protesters chanted slogans against the government and judiciary, they blocked different roads for several hour which caused traffic gridlocks at Shahrah-e-Faisal, Soldier Bazar and Dr Ziauddin Ahmed Road.
Mumtaz Qadri, an Elite Force commando convicted of killing former Punjab governor Salman Taseer, was executed at the Adiala Jail in the wee hours on Monday. Angry supporters of the convict took to the streets forcing shops and businesses to close and public transport to disappear making a strike-like situation in certain areas of Karachi.
Motorists and commuters in public transport vehicles remained stuck for hours while some took to social media to express their anger.

A store with suspected involvement in illegal tobacco sales has been hit with a three-month extension on its closure.
HM Revenue & Customs swooped in on Bucharest Mini Market, located on Parliament Road, back in February as part of a multi-agency crackdown. The raid led to the discovery and seizure of 7,620 illicit cigarettes and 250g of hand-rolling tobacco, and Teesside Magistrates ordered the closure of the premises in April to prevent crime and disorder.
The council successfully secured the order after a number of incidents linked to counterfeit tobacco over the course of two years. A three-month extension to the closure has now been granted after evidence from Trading Standards showed that proposed alternative proprietors for the shop also had established links to the sale of illicit tobacco.
The investigation and enforcement work by Trading Standards and HMRC is part of a national trading standards initiative code-named Operation Cece, which is playing a significant role in disrupting the illicit trade and helping to take illegal tobacco off the streets. The trade in illegal tobacco harms local communities and affects honest businesses operating within the law.
Regarding the extension of the order on Monday, July 11, head of public protection at Middlesbrough Council Judith Hedgley said: “Extending the closure order on this retail premises shows that the Courts take the sale of illicit tobacco very seriously.
“Our trading standards team will continue to take action where concerns about illicit tobacco are raised and when our investigations identify those responsible for selling illegal tobacco products.
“This case and others like it should also be a warning to landlords that they need to take care when renting out their properties otherwise they could lose months of rental income if their property is ordered to shut.
“Landlords who are implicated in the sale of illicit products or who are complicit in this trade, such as receiving income from criminal activities, could themselves be liable to enforcement action, including their assets seized under proceeds of crime laws.”
Councillor David Coupe, Middlesbrough Council’s executive member with responsibility for public protection, added: “Selling illicit tobacco will not be tolerated. It has links to serious organised crime, it undermines measures to reduce the prevalence of smoking and increases health inequalities. It is also the main source of tobacco to children, which is a shocking situation.”

With the NBA free agency about to kick off on July 1st, we can expect a lot of activity over the next few days as players opt out and teams exercise their options. Mostly though, we will see a lot of movement of some big name players and perhaps even more impactful will be which young up-and-comer signs where. There is rightly a lot of discussion about next year's free agent period dubbed "The Summer of LeBron" but don't go to sleep on who's available now.
Before we get into specific players and the Suns salary situation, lets first have a quick primer on some free agency basics.
Free agency period, salary cap, luxury tax and what not
On July 1st free agents become "free" and teams are allowed to begin negotiations with those players. July 1st in effect marks the official end to the previous season from a salary calculation standpoint and the rosters are in essence reset. Like a pumpkin at midnight, on July 1st those valuable "expiring contracts" official expire.
But before teams can actually spend money on new players the league has a moratorium on signings and conducts an audit to establishe the salary cap for the coming season. The salary cap is mandated by the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the teams and players and is designed to limit how much teams can spend. The salary cap is set at 51% of the total basketball related revenue from the NBA.
The audit that will be conducted over the next few days determines what the salary cap will be for the coming year. The cap is based on overall league revenues. If the league makes less money that translates to a lower salary cap and less money for players. A pretty smart system.
The salary cap determines how much money teams can pay free agents. If a team has $10m under the cap it can spend up to $10m to sign a free agent.
There are exceptions to the salary cap which allow teams to exceed the limit. Most of these exceptions like "Bird Rights" allow teams to exceed the cap to resign it's own free agents. The system is designed to encourage players to remain with the same team and limit player movement.
The other well known exception is the "Mid-level Exception" which allows a team to sign one or more players up to an amount equal to the average league salary. The MLE is expected to be about $5.6m this summer.
Between the MLE (which can be used on one player each year) and the various other exceptions you can see that teams quickly exceed the salary cap making it a so-called "soft cap". The Suns for example were $17m over the salary cap last season.
The other big impact of the salary cap is on trades. If two teams want to make a trade and both are over the salary cap then the salaries have to match salaries within 125%. If however, a team is under the salary cap it can use its cap space to receive the incoming player's salary and not have to send back and equivalent salary amount. This is a very important factor in trades and is why teams with cap space have a lot of leverage when it comes to making trades with teams wanting to cut payroll.
On July 8th, when the audit is complete and the salary cap is officially set teams can official begin signing free agents and can continue to sign them throughout the season.
The Luxury Tax is the next limit teams work within. The lux tax is established at essentially 61% of all basketball related income. Last season it was $71m and like the salary cap had grown about $3m every year since the 2005 CBA went into effect. This season both the salary cap and luxury tax are expected to stay about the same or perhaps decline as a result of the economy.
The luxury tax is calculated based on the total payroll a team has at the end of the season. This is important as a team that is over the tax and wanting to get under it has until the February trade deadline to shed payroll. The problem at that point is the only way to get under the tax for the current season is to make a deal with a team that has salary cap space.
When the Suns traded Kurt Thomas to the Seattle Supersonics to save $16m, Kerr had to "pay" the Sonic two first round picks to compensate the Sonics for using their cap space. If the Suns had held on to Thomas and traded him at the deadline as the Sonic did, they would not have saved the $16m as they would have had to receive contracts back. Again, this shows why teams that are under the cap have a lot of leverage and flexibility when it comes to making deals.
The luxury tax is paid dollar for dollar for any salary over the tax line meaning a team that is $4m over the tax line will pay $4m in tax. The tax gets distributed to non-tax paying teams making the process even more painful.
For more detailed CBA information see the Salary Cap FAQ
Where are the Suns now?
On July 1st the Suns will have 12 players under contract totaling about $73m in salary. That assumes they waive Pavlovic and are on the hook for only the $1.5m guaranteed portion of his full $4.5m contract. When you add in a $2m place holder for Grant Hill who is the Suns highest priority free agent and $800k for Taylor Griffin you are at 14 players at $76m which is projected to be about $4m over the tax line.
If the Suns hadn't made the trade with Cleveland they would be at $81m including Hill and Clark and assuming they wouldn't sign Griffin or any other players.
Ben Wallace has said that he's considering retirement. If he were to accept a buy out of $10m that would save the Suns $8m and put them in a sound financial position. If he were to be traded to the Hornets for Chandler's $12m salary the team would still save about $4m. As we said when the deal went down, Wallace's intentions are important to what the Suns do over the next few weeks. If he decides he wants to play next season the Suns have no option but to pay him the full $14m. Chances are good though that we will take a buy out and either retire or sign somewhere else for much less.
If the Suns don't do anything else other then sign Clark to the rookie scale and Griffin to a minimum contract and then lock up Grant Hill for about $2m then they will be paying $4m in tax. They've said they are fine with this.
What the Suns don't have (unlike numerous teams) is the room under either salary cap or the luxury tax to sign any of the free agents available. Using the MLE would cost the team over $10m in salary and tax and they are not going to do that.
Who's got money to spend?
Using $65m as the line between teams that can spend the MLE without going to far over the luxury tax, there are 14 teams that can be considered buyers in the upcoming free agency spending period. That doesn't mean all of those teams will use the MLE but they reasonably could. Those teams in order of highest payroll to lowest are:
Bulls, Rockets, Clippers, Warriors, Nets, 76ers, Trailblazers, Kings Timberwolves, Raptors, Hawks, Thunder, Pistons and Grizzlies. Those last three teams are all about $17m to $21m under the salary cap making them major players in this market.
That's not to say certain teams with deep pocketed owners won't go even further over the luxury tax to sign certain players. The Knicks who are already about $4m over the tax line are reportedly interested in signing Jason Kidd and the Lakers who are $5m over are going to have to decide how much more to spend on Odom and/or Ariza. The Mavericks with Cuban's checkbook are right at the luxury tax line and have the very movable contract of Jerry Stackhouse which should make them a player as well.
There are some big names out there to be had by those teams with money to spend. There are quite a few solid power forwards available and a couple of very good point guards. There are also some very interesting big names like Shawn Marion, Rasheed Wallace, Allen Iverson and Stephon Marbury. I can't wait to find out where those guys end up.
Stay tuned, the next few weeks are going to be interesting.
