Wing-eating champ El Wingador faces NJ prison term
WOODBURY, N.J. (AP) ? A five-time Buffalo wing-eating champion known as El Wingador has pleaded guilty to a cocaine distribution charge in New Jersey.
Gloucester County prosecutors say William Simmons pleaded guilty Monday to possession with intent to distribute. The 51-year-old Woodbury Heights resident faces a seven-year prison when he's sentenced in September. Prosecutors say they won't object if he applies for an intensive supervision program that could shorten his sentence.
Several drug charges were filed against Simmons following a June 2012 traffic stop. Simmons admitted he was using "a little bit" of cocaine at the time.
El Wingador last won Philadelphia's Wing Bowl in 2005, when he gnawed through 162 chicken wings. The Wing Bowl was started as a way for Philadelphia sports fans to blow off steam before the Super Bowl.

Some Advice About The Commercial Real Estate Market - Maynas Eric
When selling or purchasing commercial real estate it is important to have everything done properly. No matter how comfortable you feel with any area in commercial real estate, there is always the possibility that you are missing key information that could be vital. The following article offers helpful information regarding commercial real estate.
If you are considering purchasing a piece of property, be sure to investigate what the area?s unemployment rates, income levels and average property values are. If your house is near a hospital, university or other large employment centers, they will usually sell quicker and also, at a higher value.
When entering the commercial real estate market, patience is perhaps your best ally. You should never rush into a possible investment. You?ll regret it quickly if your lack of research results in a property without much re-sale value. Realistically, it can take upwards of a year to find the right investment in your local market.
TIP! Before you invest heavily in a piece of property, investigate the economics of the neighborhood such as unemployment rates, income levels and local businesses. Properties near hospitals, universities or other centers of large numbers of employees tend to sell faster and at higher-than-average values.
Similar Areas
One of the most critical considerations for valuing a commercial property is its physical location. Think about the type of neighborhood the property is in. Don?t forget to check out similar areas as well, in order to see how other neighborhoods are growing economically. By calculating growth in similar areas, you will be able to ascertain whether the piece of property you are looking at is going to continue growing.
Make sure that the commercial property has access to all utilities needed. The utilities you will need for your business go beyond electricity; you will also need water, sewer and gas, as well.
TIP! When entering the commercial real estate market, patience is perhaps your best ally. Do not rush into investments, or make decisions impulsively.
If you put the commercial property up for sale, have it inspected. If the inspections turn up any problems, remediate them before listing the property for sale.
There are a variety of types of real estate brokers who deal in commercial properties. Some brokers represent tenants only, while full service brokers will work with landlords and tenants. Consider hiring a tenant-only broker as he?ll have the most experience in dealing with situations such as yours.
If you are just getting started investing, focus on just one category of investments. Pick one type of property, at first, and pay close attention to it. It is advisable to try to do a good job at one type of investment as opposed to being average on a lot of different types.
TIP! Another factor to be aware of when shopping for property to rent or lease is who pays for pest control. In some areas, in particular in areas with known populations of pests, this is a very important concern.
When selecting a real estate broker to work with, you should ask about their negotiation strategies. Inquire about their training and experience. You want to ensure that the broker has good ethics, and is capable of obtaining the best deals possible. Ask for examples of negotiations they have participated in previously. Tell them you want to know about both positive and negative experiences.
Always ensure that the areas around your property are well taken care of. You are responsible for cleaning up your building from environmental waste. Are you considering purchasing a piece of real estate in an area prone to flooding? Take the time go think things over before taking action. If you are thinking about purchasing a property, be sure to contact an environmental assessment agency to get important information.
Pro Forma
TIP! Your investment might be very time consuming at first. Finding a good opportunity, going through the transaction and making any necessary repairs to the property takes time.
Verify that the pro forma and the rent roll match the terms. When you don?t look at the key terms with precision then it could possibly lead to change when it comes to the pro forma, because with the rent roll some terms weren?t considered.
Don?t overwhelm yourself trying to work on several types of investments at once. Put all of your attention on one investment until it?s complete. You need to focus on one type of investment, whether it be offices, apartments, land, retail, etc. Each type of investment deserves your undivided attention. Becoming a guru in one investment category is preferable to minimal success spread across multiple investments.
There are many ways available to cut down on repair costs when cleaning up the property. If you possess an ownership interest, you may not be fully responsible for cleanup costs. The costs of waste disposal and environmental cleanup can add up quickly. Consider contacting an environmental assessment company to provide you with an environmental report. They tend to be bit pricey, but they will be worth it in the end.
TIP! You must absolutely confirm that your real estate?s asking price is realistic. There are a variety of different factors that go into determining a property?s value.
When you decide to invest in commercial property, set your sights a little higher than before. If you believe that you can easily manage five units, you can probably easily manage 50. Smaller buildings must still have commercial financing, and you can often get a better deal on a bigger building.
Make certain that you know how to both recognize and benefit from good deals that present themselves. People who deal in real estate on a professional level can spot a great deal immediately. They?re so successful largely because they always keep an exit strategy in mind, and they aren?t afraid to step away from deals that have gone bad or lose their appeal. Other skills include being able to spot necessarily repairs, risk calculation, and always assuring that a property will be able to meet their financial goals.
Always stay on the lookout for sellers who are motivated to sell. You have to look for them, especially those who need to sell below the market value. Nothing happens at all in the world of real estate unless you unearth a potential deal, which is a discovery typically promptly followed by meeting a motivated seller.
TIP! If you are viewing more than one property, you may wish to create a checklist for each site. Make sure to advise the property owners when you want to take the next step past the first proposal responses.
Locate the right financing first. Financing for a commercial loan in real estate investment differs from the rules that apply to home loans. In many ways they may be better than a residential loan. Commercial loans will require a bigger down payment, but if the deal doesn?t go as planned, you?ll be able to avoid personal liability. Also, banks are often more relaxed and will allow you to borrow the down payment from a partner or a friend.
Do not make the mistake of assuming that you have learned everything there is to know when it comes to commercial real estate. Maintain a standing assumption that you have room for further education, and apply the advice from this article to build yourself better market positions. Use what you learned wisely, and make a big profit later.

Five-star status thrilled UK target Matt Elam, who stil plans to wait to make college choice in January
Matt Elam
By LARRY VAUGHT
He?s met with Alabama coach Nick Saban, received 181 letters in one day from Kentucky and been to visit Ohio State and Notre Dame. Yet a recent boost in his recruiting ranking probably excited John Hardin defensive tackle Matt Elam more than anything. Elam was already a four-star recruit when he was elevated by 247Sports.com to the elite five-star status , something few players achieve.
?I was so excited when I got my fifth star,? said Elam. ?Everybody works so hard for that. I?have been working and to see it all pay off like that was amazing. I was just thrilled.?
Various schools will be just as thrilled if the mammoth defensive lineman decides to play for them. He has had Alabama, Kentucky and Louisville at the top of his college list for some time. Now he?s added Notre Dame, Ohio State and Tennessee to a top-six list.
?I have visited all six schools. I am still trying to think about where I will go on my (five) official visits,? Elam said.
His intention has been to announce his college choice at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Jan. 4, 2014 at the Alamodome in San Antonio. He wants to stick to that timetable if he can.
?It has been kind of hard, but I think I can make it through this and wait for the All-American Bowl,? Elam said. ?About every single day somebody asks me where I am going.?
He heard a lot of that on a recent visit to UK?for a summer camp that many of UK?s 2014 verbal commitments attended. That included Conner quarterback Drew Barker, who will play in the same game in San Antonio.
?Drew is kind of laid back and said when I?make my decision, he will be there beside me,? Elam said. ?But everybody there was encouraging me to go ahead and pick Kentucky. The staff was telling me they were ready for a Yahtzee (the code word UK?coaches use on Twitter when a player commits). But they calmed down as the weekend went on.?
Elam did create a bit of a stir on his visit when he tweeted pictures of UK?s new uniforms.
?I liked them a lot. I don?t know how everybody else feels about them, but the commits loved them. Everybody wants to look good when they play,? he said.
Elam was pleasantly surprised when he visited Notre Dame.
?It wasn?t high on my list but when I went up there for a visit, the coaching staff was great and the campus is beautiful. They have a lot of great tradition. It really changed my mind about Notre Dame. The staff talked a lot about how I?could come and play early,? Elam said.
What about Ohio State?
?I also loved the coaching staff there. They are staying in contact and saying I?have a great chance to play early there,? he said.
Tennessee held off offering Elam until last week. First-year coach Butch Jones has 24 commitments in his 2014 recruiting, one reason he may have waited so long to offer Elam. The John Hardin lineman says he does ?not keep grudges? but he will remember the late offer and how Tennessee at one time said he was ?too big? before later telling him he was a ?perfect fit? for the defense.
Elam, who weighs 360 pounds now but insists he?ll be down to 335 or 340 when his season starts, is strong, athletic, and explosive. His first step and hand quickness have impressed all recruiters. However, the recruiting attention could make him the center of attention from opposing teams this season.
?All this won?t change me. I?just have to slow down and focus on my year. I?have played with these guys forever. We have started practice, so I am back in the groove and working hard,? Elam said. ?My goal is to win a state championship for John Hardin and then worry about recruiting.?
He hopes Kentucky and Louisville fans come to watch him and his team play.
?We need the stands to be filled up. Past years, it has not been like that and hopefully the change will be good. If a bunch of fans come, it will help me and my team,? he said.

Longtime PM poised for victory as Cambodians vote
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) ? Cambodians went to the polls Sunday in an election almost certain to deliver another mandate for long-ruling Prime Minister Hun Sen amid cries of foul play by his opponents.
Hun Sen, who has been in power for nearly three decades, was among the early voters, casting his ballot Sunday morning near his home in Takhmau in Kandal province, south of the capital, Phnom Penh. He smiled as he walked from his car to the polling station, but declined to speak to reporters after casting his ballot, presumably to conform to rules barring any sort of campaigning during the voting period.
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy, who returned to Cambodia this month from four years in self-exile, visited a polling station near his party's office in Phnom Penh, where hundreds of voters, particularly younger ones, greeted him enthusiastically, with some of the bolder ones hugging him.
The general election was Cambodia's fifth since 1993, when the United Nations helped stage the country's first free polls since the 1975-79 genocidal rule of the Khmer Rouge and a subsequent period of civil war and one-party rule.
Counting of the paper ballots began shortly after the polls closed at 3 p.m., with representatives of political parties witnessing the process. The first unofficial results were not expected until Sunday evening.
There were many reports of voting irregularities on social media from local journalists and election watchdog groups, but an overall picture was unlikely to emerge until Monday at the earliest.
Rainsy said his party would wait before deciding what to do about the alleged irregularities, but added that if it was clear the voters' will was being denied, "definitely, there will be protests."
The streets around Hun Sen's residence in Phnom Penh were closed Sunday, with hundreds of police officers patrolling in apparent effort to guard against protests.
"I am happy to see people flocking to vote," Rainsy told reporters, though he himself was unable to vote and was not on the ballot because he failed to register in time, being in self-imposed exile until earlier this month.
The exile was to avoid a jail term for convictions that he said were politically motivated. He returned July 19 only after receiving a royal pardon at the behest of Hun Sen, his longtime and bitter rival.
The pardon was an apparent effort by Hun Sen to appease critics of the election process, including the United States, who suggested that Rainsy's exclusion was a major sign that the polls would not be free and fair.
But even with Rainsy's inclusion, critics have still charged that the process is heavily rigged. Rainsy's Cambodia National Rescue Party and nonpartisan groups say the ruling party uses the machinery of government and security forces in an unfair manner to reward or pressure voters.
They also say that voter registration procedures were badly flawed, possibly leaving more than 1 million people disenfranchised. The independent Committee for Free and Fair Elections said Saturday that the ink with which voters were supposed to stain their fingers to prevent them from voting twice was not indelible as claimed.
Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party and the government-appointed National Election Committee have said the election process is fair.
Rainsy said he visited several polling stations Sunday and noted cases where people who thought they were registered were unable to vote because their names were not listed in the rolls.
"They couldn't find their names," he said. "They (were) either deleted or removed or assigned to another polling station. So it's very confusing."
Voters in Phnom Penh seemed proud to be able to cast their ballots. Sixty-eight-year-old Meas Rith, who was voting with his wife, said he had been waiting five years since the last polls and finally received satisfaction Sunday.
"I have voted today because I want to see Cambodia progress along with other countries in the world, and I wanted to vote to select a real democratic leader for our country," he said. "I don't mind who wins the election, but I want this vote to be free and fair, and the winner to triumph honestly and the loser to lose with grace."
Rainsy, 64, anticipating a second-place finish, told reporters Saturday that any gains his party makes would be significant, and would set the stage for a long fight for fair elections. He said that even though he believed the election was unfair, his party was taking part "to show the Cambodian people that we are with them."
Before the election, Hun Sen's party held 90 of the 123 seats in the outgoing National Assembly. Although eight parties were running, the CNRP and CPP were the only serious contenders.
Opposition parties had held 29 seats in the assembly, but were kicked out of the body shortly before election campaigning began on the technical grounds that they had registered to run in the name of the new CNRP, formed by a merger of the two existing opposition parties under whose banners they had won their seats.
The campaign generated great excitement, especially among young people in Phnom Penh, where large crowds of supporters of the two main parties staged spirited rallies. Cambodia has 9.7 million registered voters in a population of almost 15 million, and just over half the electorate is under 30 years old.
Hun Sen, 60, has been in power for 28 years and says he has no intention of stepping down soon. His authoritarian rule has given him a stranglehold over the state bureaucracy that makes challenges to his authority difficult to mount.
The prime minister ran on a record of having restored peace and stability after decades of war and unrest, and promoting economic growth. The opposition decried corruption and injustice, especially reflected in widespread land-grabbing that see influential companies and businessmen develop property from which thousands of people have been evicted.
The election campaign was not marked by the kind of violence, including killings, that plagued past polls.
