Columbia 9-1-1 Operating Fund Renewal
Columbia 9-1-1 Communications District board of directors have placed a request to renew the 9-1-1 operating fund on the May 21st ballot.
The proposed operating levy rate will be the same rate as it is currently – 29 cents, which is two cents less than the 9-1-1 operating levy approved by voters in 1998.
The proposed renewal would continue the 29 cent rate for the next five years, totaling 15 years with no rate change: the same rate as approved in 2008, 2003 and at a slightly reduced rate from that approved in 1998.
Kathy Denckla, a Vernonia area resident and president of the board for Columbia 9-1-1 Communications District, pointed out, "This is simply a renewal of the operating funding. We are not requesting new taxes. The renewal of the funding will maintain this essential and reliable service to everyone in Columbia County."
She added, "The district has been efficient while improving services, and continues to seek alternative funding for needed technical system improvements. As a result, the rate will continue to stay the same, which is slightly less than the amount voters approved in 1998."
The 9-1-1 district has accomplished its promise to improve essential equipment while at the same time increasing reliability and service, according to the board. The number of calls to the district have continued at about 220 per day.
Construction of the county-wide communications system is complete and is now being used to enhance the efficiency of first responders. "District 9-1-1 dispatchers handled more than 80,000 phone calls last year," reported district executive director, Jeanine Dilley. "We successfully connect 16 different emergency service agencies with people who need their help. 9-1-1 is a vital link for the safety and livability of our communities."
The Columbia 9-1-1 Communications District operating fund supports all ongoing functions of the 9-1-1 call center, including 24-hour staffing, training and coordination with local and state emergency operations. The five-year renewal will maintain the level of service citizens throughout Columbia County now receive.
For more information on the operating fund renewal or the Columbia 9-1-1 Communications District, interested persons may contact Dilley at 503 397-7255, ext. 2223, email@example.com, go to www.columbia911.com, or contact members of the Columbia 9-1-1 Communications District board of directors.
CRFPD Levy on Ballot
Also on the May ballot is a five-year local option levy for the Clatskanie Rural Fire Protection District (CRFPD).
Measure 5-233 asks voters to approve a levy of $1.2533 per $1,000 of assessed property value in addition to the CRFPD's base rate of $1.71 per $1,000.
A yes vote on the levy would provide funding for additional firefighter/paramedic positions, improved ambulance services, purchase of needed replacement equipment and fire hoses, as well as funding for maintenance of the district's buildings and property.
The ballot title filed with the Columbia County Clerk's office states that "the permanent tax rate alone is inadequate to properly ensure fire and ambulance services. Our community continues to have increasing demand for emergency fire and medical response. Combining the permanent tax rate with a five-year levy will allow the district to provide staffing and equipment to ensure we can respond to the increasing number of calls for service."
If approved, the levy would begin in the 2013-14 fiscal year. The levy rate of $1.2533 on a home with an assessed value of $100,000 would be $125.33 per year for five years in addition to the property taxes already paid to the CRFPD.
The proposed CRFPD local option levy would raise approximately $536,629 in 2013-14, $551,834 in 2014-15, $567,469 in 2015-16, $583,548 in 2016-17, and $600,082 in 2017-18.
Easter egg hunts are scheduled this Saturday, March 30, in Clatskanie, Rainier and St. Helens.

Oregon, Washington Governors Ask President's Environmental Council to Intervene on Coal Terminals
by Deborah Steele Hazen
The governors of Oregon and Washington have asked U.S. President Barack Obama's Council on Environmental Quality to "undertake and complete a thorough examination of the greenhouse gas and other air quality effects of continued coal leasing and export before the U.S. and its partners make irretrievable long-term investments in expanding this trade."
The letter dated Monday, March 25, specifically names Ambre Energy's Morrow Pacific Terminal proposal, which would see up to eight million tons of coal per year transported by barge from Boardman in Eastern Oregon to the Port of St. Helens-owned Port Westward site near Clatskanie.
It also names the Millenium Bulk Terminals proposal in Longview and the Gateway Pacific Terminal in Bellingham.
In the letter addressed to Nancy Sutley, chair of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), Executive Office of the President, Governor John Kitzhaber of Oregon and Governor Jay Inslee of Washington urge the CEQ "in the strongest possible terms" to halt the coal export terminals proposed for the Pacific Northwest until "a thorough examination" is completed.
Port of St. Helens commission chair Robert Keyser, of Clatskanie, said he thought the letter could be a "death sentence" to Ambre Energy's Morrow Pacific Project and the Kinder-Morgan proposal – which has not yet entered the permitting process – to export coal from Port Westward.
He noted that the Port had been trying to get a clear answer from the governor's office about what industrial development it would support at Port Westward for the past year. "That is where we were trying to get to when we invited the governor here a year ago."
Morrow Pacific Project Responds to Letter
On Tuesday morning, the Morrow Pacific project released the following statement in response to Monday's letter to the CEQ from the governors:
"We are following the direction of the Corps (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) in regards to the permitting scope and process. The Governors' proposal is outside the scope of federal regulation and we do not agree with the request in the letter.
"The Morrow Pacific project referenced the draft CEQ guidelines in the Environmental Review, which was submitted to the Corps in August of 2012. The guidelines are one reason that we decided to quantify the localized impact of greenhouse gases."
The response noted a March 18th article in SNL Energy, which reported that the Corps "will not conduct an intensive, all-encompassing programmatic environmental impact statement for the proposed coal export terminals in the Pacific Northwest."
Last year Governor Kitzhaber, joined by U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley, asked the Corps to conduct a "programmatic environmental impact statement (EIS)" on the proposed coal export terminals.
According to the SNL Energy article the decision by the Corps not to conduct the "programmatic" EIS followed months of meetings coordinated by the CEQ.
The SNL Energy article further stated: "President Barack Obama's stance on climate change postulated during his inauguration and State of the Union addresses prompted speculation that the White House would play a more authoritative role in evaluating coal export proposals.
"But Meg Gaffney-Smith, the acting deputy chief for the Corps' operations and regulatory division, said the White House Council on Environmental Quality, or CEQ, is no longer coordinating meetings between agencies such as the Corps, BLM (Bureau of Land Management), EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and the Surface Transportation Board.
"Indeed, documents that SNL Energy obtained show emails from CEQ associate director for NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) Oversight Horst Greczmiel coordinating meetings from June to September 2012, but none since then.
"'CEQ regularly plays a facilitating role among agencies engaging in NEPA reviews to encourage interagency coordination, and brought together agencies to coordinate with each other on timely responses to letters on the same general topic,' White House CEQ spokeswoman Taryn Tuss said. 'CEQ does not direct agencies how to conduct their NEPA reviews. It is the agencies' responsibility to implement NEPA and apply their analysis on a case by case basis, according to their individual NEPA regulations.'"
The Morrow Pacific project has been designed to receive low-sulfur coal by rail from the intermountain region to an enclosed warehouse at the Port of Morrow in Boardman. From there, enclosed barges would move the coal to Port Westward. An enclosed transloader would then transfer the coal from barges to ocean-going vessels bound for Asian "trade allies," such as Japan, South Korea or Taiwan.
"The Morrow Pacific project raises the bar for environmental standards in coal export operations. From the Port of Morrow facility until it arrives in Asia, there will be no visible coal and little, if any, coal dust," according to company spokespersons.
Text of Governors' Letter
Copies of Monday's letter from Governors Kitzhaber and Inslee to the CEQ chair were sent to cc: Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior; Bob Perciasepe, acting administrator of the EPA; John McHugh, Secretary of the Army; Jo-Ellen Darcy, assistant secretary of the Army for Civil Works; U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, the Oregon Congressional delegation, and the Washington Congressional delegation
The letter read as follows:
"The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is reviewing several permit applications for coal export shipping terminals in Oregon and Washington under Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act, and Section 10 of the federal Rivers and Harbors Act. The permit applications include the Gateway Pacific terminal north of Bellingham, Washington (Peabody Energy – up to 48 million tons per year); the Millennium Bulk Terminals proposal in Longview, Washington (Ambre Energy – up to 44 million tons per year); and the Morrow Pacific Terminal at the Port of Morrow in Boardman, Oregon with a downstream barging component to Port Westward, also in Oregon (Ambre Energy – up to 8 million tons per year). Collectively, these proposals could result in the export of up to 100 million tons of coal per year. The expected end use of this coal is for energy production in Asia. No final decisions have been made on the related applications for state permits for these facilities. Our agencies are committed to a rigorous, fair and objective process to review these applications, within the scope of our respective authorities.
"As you know, while coal consumption is declining in the United States, consumption in Asia is driving a substantial increase in global coal use. Although China and India are working to increase their use of other fuels and renewables, coal consumption in Asia has more than doubled in the last ten years. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global coal demand will grow by 16.9 percent over the next five years, or 2.6 percent per year. To date, coal exports from the United States have not been a major source of supply for foreign markets, but that is beginning to change. U.S. coal exports already have grown from 50 million tons in 2006 to just under 100 million tons in 2012 according to the U.S. Energy Information Agency (EIA). The U.S. holds the world's largest recoverable coal reserves, according to the EIA, much of which are found on federal lands in the western U.S. The recent interest in coal export shipping terminals along the west coast, along with decreasing domestic demand, is a clear indication that the U.S. could become a significant supplier of coal to Asia.
"Coal will inevitably play an important part in the global energy supply in the short term. However, before the United States and our trading partners make substantial new investments in coal generation and the infrastructure to transport coal, extending the world's reliance on this fuel for decades, we need a full public airing of the consequences of such a path. Coal is the major source of global greenhouse gas emissions, and its share is increasing rapidly. Increasing levels of greenhouse gases and other pollutants resulting from the burning of coal, including pollutants other than CO2, are imposing direct costs on people, businesses and communities in the U.S. and around the world. These costs include the public health costs of increased atmospheric deposition of mercury in drinking water sources, as well as costs resulting from ocean acidification, rising sea levels, wildfires, and shrinking snow packs that are key sources of
water for the western U.S.
"As the major owner of coal reserves in the western U.S., the federal government must consider whether it has appropriately priced the coal leases that it continues to grant, including the practice of granting non-competitive leases. Senators Ron Wyden and Lisa Murkowski recently asked the U.S. Department of the Interior for information concerning alleged industry practices using in-house trading affiliates to avoid paying royalties that reflect actual export sales. These issues raise significant concerns that we are subsidizing the export of coal at the same time we are winding down domestic consumption due to serious environmental and health concerns.
"We believe the federal government must examine the true costs of long-term commitments to supply coal from federal lands for energy production, whether that production occurs domestically or in Asia. We cannot seriously take the position in international and national policymaking that we are a leader in controlling greenhouse gas emissions without also examining how we will use and price the world's largest proven coal reserves.
"The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) has issued draft guidance for agencies concerning when and how they need to consider the climate change effects of their actions. Given that the cumulative total of coal exports from Oregon and Washington could result in CO2 emissions on the order of 240 million tons per year, well above the significance level described in the draft guidance – it is hard to conceive that the federal government would ignore the inevitable consequences of coal leasing and coal export. We believe the decisions to continue and expand coal leasing from federal lands and authorize the export of that coal are likely to lead to long-term investments in coal generation in Asia, with air quality and climate impacts in the United States that dwarf those of almost any other action the federal government could take in the foreseeable future.
"For these reasons, we urge the CEQ in the strongest possible terms to undertake and complete a thorough examination of the greenhouse gas and other air quality effects of continued coal leasing and export before the U.S. and its partners make irretrievable long-term investments in expanding this trade. We understand that the draft CEQ guidance under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) that is referenced above is likely to be finalized in the near future, and applaud that step and urge that the new policy be applied to coal export terminal proposals now pending as well as to all future decisions concerning coal leases. We also ask that you evaluate and determine the proper policies for pricing coal leases from federal lands, both as a matter of securing a fair return for this resource, and to account for the direct costs of the resulting emissions to U.S. businesses and communities. These steps are needed for the U.S. to make sound decisions as the international demand for the coal resources in the U.S. continues to grow, and to ensure that we do not simply pass these tough issues on to future generations."

BOSTON (AP) — Teresa Heinz says she is being treated for breast cancer discovered through a mammogram and wants younger women to keep undergoing the tests despite a federal panel's recent recommendation to reduce their frequency.
The 71-year-old wife of 2004 Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry, of Massachusetts, tells The Associated Press the cost of mammography is less than the pain women face if their cancer goes undetected early and they have to be treated with chemotherapy.
Heinz says her cancer was discovered through an annual mammogram. Doctors initially thought it was confined to her left breast but later determined it was in her right breast also.
Heinz has had two lumpectomies since October and will undergo a new form of radiation treatment next month.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. —
Alabama's public schools aren't seeing an exodus of students taking advantage of private school tax credits, Alabama Superintendent of Education Tommy Bice told the state school board Thursday.
A preliminary survey by the Alabama Department of Education shows 51 students have used the new AlabamaAccountability Act to transfer from a failing public school to a private school, Bice said.
He told AL.com (http://bit.ly/14Idz78 ) that not all school systems have responded to a department survey, but he doesn't expect the figure to increase much because the state's largest systems have responded.
Of the 51 transfers, 33 were in Montgomery County, he said.
One of the 78 public schools rated as failing is Samson Middle School in southeast Alabama. Geneva County Superintendent Becky Birdsong told the Dothan Eagle that two students transferred, but it's unclear if both are using the tax credits.
The Alabama Accountability Act provides state tax credits of about $3,500 to a family that moves a child from a failing public school to a participating private school. So far, 56 of Alabama's more than 500 private schools have signed up to participate in the voluntary transfer program.
The Accountability Act is being challenged in federal court by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

For a long time, I wouldn't touch cauliflower.
I blame vegetable trays at Fourth of July picnics and graduation parties during my childhood. Raw cauliflower just doesn't intrigue a child like a crunchy carrot, a celery brimming with flavored cream cheese or those black olives that fit on the end of your fingers.
Make a hearty soup. Remove stem and leaves from one head of cauliflower. Divide into florets. Add to a medium pot with 8 cups of chicken or vegetable broth. Cook until the cauliflower is tender, about 20 minutes. Use a potato masher to break into smaller pieces, but do not pulverize. Add 1 cup orzo pasta; cook until tender, following package instructions. If desired, season with fresh cracked pepper. Top each serving with grated Parmesan cheese and serve with artisan bread.
Pull together a quick pasta dish. Boil florets from 1 head of cauliflower until tender. Remove with a slotted spoon. When cool enough to handle, chop into small pieces. Cook 1 pound penne pasta in water used to boil cauliflower. Saute 1 tablespoon minced garlic with 1�"4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When garlic is golden, add cauliflower. Turn heat to medium and stir occasionally. Drain pasta when just shy of being done, reserving 1 cup of cooking water. Add pasta to skillet. Toss with cauliflower and garlic. Add reserved pasta water. When pasta is done and glazed, season with salt and pepper and add 1 cup breadcrumbs.
Try it a la Grecque. Place florets of cauliflower in a large bowl with enough water to cover and 1 tablespoon white vinegar. Stir and drain. Bring large pot of salted water to boil, add cauliflower. Boil for 5 minutes, then remove cauliflower to a bowl of ice water. Let sit a few minutes and drain. In a large stockpot, combine 1�"3 cup lemon juice, 1�"2 cup dry white wine, 2 teaspoons coriander seeds, 2 teaspoons fennel seeds, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 2 sprigs fresh thyme, a bay leaf, 1�"3 cup olive oil and 3�"4 cup water. Bring to a boil and let cook for 5 minutes. Add cauliflower, reduce heat and let simmer for 7 minutes. Remove cauliflower and transfer to a large platter. Season with salt and pepper. Strain cooking liquid and return to the pot. Bring to a simmer and reduce by half. Pour over cauliflower and cool. Serve at room temperature or cold. This can be made up to five days in advance.
To me, raw cauliflower was a hunk of dense blandness.
My cauliflower conversion started at a local Mediterranean deli. There was roasted, curried cauliflower on the buffet. Despite my negative cruciferous history, I was intrigued enough to try it. It was delicious. That tender cauliflower had soaked up every bit of those flavors.
This winter, I started craving that roasted, curried cauliflower and found a recipe online that perfectly replicated it.
Now my budding love for cauliflower has sparked a cooking binge. I have boiled it, roasted it and even saut�ed it. I have served it with pasta, served it as steaks and even enjoyed it finely diced and raw in a relish.
Once I started looking, cauliflower was everywhere. Epicurious.com named it one of the top food trends of 2013: "This cruciferous friend is finally taking center plate." Then New York magazine cited the popularity of cauliflower steaks, writing: "Now it's cauliflower in the role of Vegetable Most Likely to Be Mistaken for a Piece of Meat." (The cauliflower is cut in 1/2-inch slices retaining some of the core so it holds together.)
I started seeing cauliflower on Southern menus. A cauliflower steak is served on a biscuit with red-pepper ragu and goat cheese at Durham's Rise bakery. Cauliflower in Easter colors of mint green, purple and a pale orange appeared in course after course at Herons restaurant at The Umstead Hotel & Spa in Cary, N.C. There, cauliflower is served as a chowder with bacon, capers and golden raisins, as a salad, thinly sliced and drizzled with hazelnuts, almonds and Parmesan cheese, and as a side dish, blanched, tossed with brown butter and topped with an aged cheddar cheese.
Herons chef Scott Crawford is a cauliflower fan, citing its versatility as an entree, a side or an accent on a dish. "It can be the star, or the texture, or the vehicle," he said.
When I started poring over cookbooks, I was surprised to see so many dishes from the Mediterranean included cauliflower. I reached out to award-winning cookbook author Martha Rose Shulman for an explanation.
"We do think of other vegetables like tomatoes and eggplant when we think of Mediterranean food, but that's probably because most people travel from the United States to the Mediterranean in the summer, when those vegetables are in season," Shulman wrote in an email. "Cauliflower is popular everywhere in the Mediterranean, not just in the winter but year-round."
Shulman reeled off a litany of dishes: deep-fried cauliflower served with a tahini sauce in the Middle East, simmered cauliflower tagine served with couscous in Tunisia, cauliflower with olives and feta in a hearty Greek stew, pasta with cauliflower, anchovies and saffron in Italy. And then Shulman's favorite: a French preparation where it's marinated a la Grecque, with olive oil, lemon, vinegar, coriander seeds and other spices and herbs.
It seems my cruciferous conversion is only bound to grow.

Fan Confidence Poll: June 3rd, 2013By
Record Last Week: 1-6 (12 RS, 31 RA)
Season Record: 31-25 (223 RS, 218 RA, 29-27 pythag. record), 3.0 games back in AL East
Opponents This Week: vs. Indians (three games, Mon. to Weds.), @ Mariners (four games, Thurs. to Sun..)
Top stories from last week:
- The week opened with four games against the Mets, the first two at CitiField and the next two at Yankee Stadium. David Robertson blew a late least in the series opening loss, then Mariano Rivera did the same on Tuesday's walk-off loss. The Yankees got blown out on Wednesday before the Amazin's finished off the sweep on Thursday.
- The Red Sox came to town for a three-game weekend series, and CC Sabathia returned to form in the series opening win. Phil Hughes got pounded in the second game before Boston walked away with a rain-shorted win yesterday.
- Injury News: Michael Pineda (shoulder) had to be shut down for a few days with a cracked fingernail. Mark Teixeira (wrist), Kevin Youkilis (back), and Joba Chamberlain (oblique) were all activated off the DL, and Andy Pettitte (trap) is expected to come off the DL and start today.
- Chien-Ming Wang did not opt-out of his contract at Friday's deadline because no other team made him a big league contract offer. The Yankees will continue to mine the scrap heap for a shortstop as Derek Jeter recovers from his ankle fracture. They also inquired about Mike Zagurski.
- Vidal Nuno and Ivan Nova were sent to Triple-A to clear roster spots while David Huff was designated for assignment. Francisco Rondon and Huff were both outrighted to Triple-A.
- Gary Sanchez ranked 16th on Keith Law's midseason top 25 prospects list. There will not be an international draft in 2014, and in fact the owners and players' union will hold off talks until the current Collective Bargaining Agreement expires in 2016.

(223 RS, 218 RA, 25-18 pythag. record)
that can't be right
Tex and Youkilis came back, but the Yankees lost several games in the standings, and their offense is utterly pathetic still. Back down to a 7. I view this scale as an absolute scale, rather than a relative scale, so I'm not going to be ridiculous and vote '5′.
I don't know who is making decisions but the roster games forced by a bunch of old DH's is really hurting the team. I don't understand how the team accumulated a bunch of long shots and then decided that, instead of giving everyone a chance and seeing who can do what the roster gets set by seniority?
I think Wells and Romaine have done the same thing over their last 40 at bats and yet one is hitting 5th and one is only playing because no one else on the active roster can play his spot.
We should be looking at platoons and lots of rest for old players and yet the lineup often alternates between hot and cold hitters.
We get two guys back early from injury and assume they will be our best hitters and bracket Cano?
A lot of bad decisions being made that are totally contrary to the roster they have constructed. Someone who shouldn't be making decisions appears to be too involved.
Hal Steinbrenner, who decided the rotation would be supernaturally perfect and a 'good enough' offence got on the cheap only needed to score one run per game.
While I'm usually quite positive, we're now 1/3 of the way through the season, and I need to revise my confidence rating down. This has nothing to do with this season's results, as I look at this more as a long term type of poll. I am now at a 7, wondering if a 6 might be more realistic. Reasons:
1) The team, as constructed, is not scoring runs and even with Teix and Youk back (and when Granderson returns), I don't think this will change significantly.
2) The returns of A-Rod or Jeter may not drastically improve this team, as we really have no idea of when they will return or how they will perform. This, of course, will carry into next year as well (and beyond in A-Rod's case)
3) The financial implications of a $189M budget. If they break away from that going forward, it may affect how I vote, but I until I see some movement, I'm staying no higher than a 7.
4) 2014 (and beyond) pitching. Very up in the air at the moment
5) Game-impacting players – No prime-year A-Rod, Jeter, Teix, etc. I don't think Cano can carry the team by himself.
6) Cano's contact situation. Will they re-sign him? Will that affect who else they can sign?
I need to see these things worked out before I feel I can go higher than a 7. And I believe that's still optimistic considering the concerns I have.
Confidence is tough after a 1-6 week, watching Youk and especially Tex looking very not ready for prime time, a roster only a Kevin Maas fan could love, continued disappointing performances for Austin, Williams and Slade and a 2 week West Coast trip coming up. Also, how is it that other teams finish rain delayed games at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning and the Yanks play a 5 inning game. A 3 is being kind under the current circumstances.
For real, this FCP is going to be a blood bath today.
Rafael DePaula's declining strikeout rate is the worst development of last week. Would love to see one of our prospect outfielders come through with a hot stretch and validate the helium given these guys in the Yankee blogosphere. Still plenty of time for one of the kids to figure out some consistency.
The ML team not scoring runs over this stretch isn't much of a surprise. Kinda blows that the upcoming stretch isn't easier, but perhaps getting out of town can heat some of the All-Star pressing bats.
DePaula's declining K rate doesn't concern me at all. They want him to throw his secondary pitches more and pitch more to contact than he has. The problem with trying to K everyone is you pile up the pitch count and leave the game before 5 innings. If he were giving up more hits it'd be alarming but he's not. If anything, he's become more unhittable.
7. Our early season run of luck seems to be running out. The offense has nowhere to go but up though at this point.
With the injured coming back, it was ludicrous to believe they would light it up. They probably needed more rehab at bats as stated. This 189M BS is a joke. Funny how Tampa Bay can even score alot with a limited amount of high end offense players.The lack of offense from catcher and SS has been a killer.Ichiro has been a disaster and doesnt even run when he manages to get on base. He looks lost and disinterested batting low in the order. Stick him in the 1 or 2 spot and bat Cano 3 and try to manufacture runs. Cant do any worse than before. If he grounds out he has a better chance of betting out a DP thus leaving Cano with a runner to work with and the 4 and 5 hitters a shot. With injuries piling up throughout MLB, at least inquire about moving Hughes,Joba,Nova and maybe even Ichiro(out west?) by eating the contract to contenders in need if injury situations arise. All that can happen is the offers are ridiculous and you keep them. Catcher looks like a lost cause with nobody available.I bet we dont see Jeter or Arod until late July if at all.
been at 6 all season, so I guess I'll just stay there. Slumps are always bad, especially when most players are slumping at the same time. Seems like playoffs are in late May – early June this year
This team's slumps happen when the pitching gets inconsistent. The lack of run production is not a slump — the team can't hit and it was clear from the end of ST that it wouldn't. My guess is it will get a bit better when Youk and Tex heat up, and Cano probably will too. The catching, SS, and RF holes seem to have no easy fix, and everyone else is mediocre. I've been at 5 since the start of the year (= a marginal playoff team).
Who dafuq is voting 10???
Hal Steinbrenner.
6 down from 7+, I knew the returnees could not be expected to hit the ground running and improve the club immediately. But Youklis and Teix have been a very short sample disappointment. Why return them th the lineup after a couple of rehab starts. They are clearly not ready for prime pitching. Also, I don't quite gather some of the lineups. Brignac should start against righties and Nix against lefties then played as the dictates of the game. Boesch should be seeing at least 50% of the playing time. Its obvious the Wells experiment is going in the wrong direction at this time and he shows no ability to adjust especially outside pitches to RF. Ichiro is starting way too much at the expense of Boesch and could play the 4th OF and still be given some good playing time.
You can't get too mad about the pitching but HUghes is wearing out the 2014 welcome mat especially if Nova and Pineda make it back and functional.
OH well I'll park my a$$ in front of the TV and hope, pray and beg for two consecutive hits in the same inning or batters who can work the pitcher like the good old days
I usually go with 9, but I'm voting a 8 this week.
My downgrade has nothing to do with the past week's performance. I'm voting 8 because I don't see a solution for the outfield following Grandy's injury. Wells and Ichiro have been very bad. They aren't going to call up Almonte or Mustelier, so I don't see any way out of that issue.
SS and C, I'm not too upset about. Most teams barely have one starting caliber player at those positions. We are down to backup backups.
Youk and Teix will work themselves back into form. It might take time, but it'll happen.
Agree with all this.
Agree with 99% of this, my only point of contention being that we are now assuming that "going to call up Almonte or Mustelier" would be an upgrade.
There is a reason FHOFRM is down in AAA, and it has nothing to do with potentially abandoning the strong Cuban American fanbase in the Greater Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area.
I'm not saying they'd be an upgrade, but at least it's possible. I'd rather try the AAA guys than just run out underachieving vets.
here's hoping this was the worst week of the season
the best thing for this team is a west coast trip. nix is a beast on the road. a beast!
They can't hit. the whole scrap heap has turned to pumpkins.
We need OF help, and soon. Right now we have for empty bats in the lineup. There probably isn't much we can do at C and SS as teams usually hold on to those types and honestly we're down to the third stringers so just waiting on Cervelli and Jeter (or even Nunez) is probably the best option. But it's hard to run out what we have in the corner OF spots right now and win. These are offensive positions and Ichiro has been one of the worst offensive players in baseball this season. Wells had the hot start, but is starting to fade. I haven't lost all confidence in him, but he needs to be given more days off and platooned more effectively. Hopefully Granderson comes back at some point, but if we are going to start hitting we need at least one upgrade in the OF. I don't know what will become available before the deadline, but we should be going after it hard. I'm also a strong advocate of seeing what David Adams could do in RF. Heck even giving Boesch playing time doesn't sound like a bad thing to try right now.
The Yanks offense is really really rough. The same kind of rough that got them bounced from the playoffs last year…but with the unwelcome additions of another year of age, 189 mil cap, and a ton injuries. It's really tough to watch night in night out. Also, their farm system just doesn't develop a lot of hole-filling prospects (like teams like the red sox do, ie Lester Bucholz Jackie Bradley JR, Rizzo who they traded away…. Boegarts on the way). Regardless of where they draft, outside of relievers and Cano, its been pretty dry for years. I'm at a 5 down from a 6. I need to see 189 disappear, this years draft come up aces, and some sort of fountain of youth for me to feel like a 7 or 8 is warranted.

Claremore Daily Progress
August 11, 2013
RSU students arrive, classes begin Monday
Mark Friedel
Staff Reporter
Rogers State University on-campus housing officially opened Thursday, allowing new and repeating students to begin moving in for the start of the fall semester on Monday.
Currently, the waiting list for both University Village A and B is about 50 students, said RSU Public Relations Director David Hamby.
"Usually every fall semester we fill to capacity. By January, numbers are shaken down and remaining students on the waiting list are able to move in and the process starts back over again," he said.
New students recently participated in a two-day program called "Hillcamp." The program held in mid-July, allowed students to spend the night on campus and get a feel for living in the dorms. Returning sophomore, junior and seniors were able to lead activities during the camp while bonding with new students.
"We had a good response to (the camp) this year," said Hamby. "Studies have shown that students who live on campus, generally perform better than students who live off campus. That's one of the key factors in (university administrator's) push to generate more student housing, and as you can tell from our wait list, students want the on-campus housing experience."
Since the school was first created as a regional university 14 years ago, a substantial amount of growth has occurred in the amount of degrees earned, from 10 bachelor's degrees in 2002, to 337 awarded at the end of last spring semester.
"Although RSU does still offer associates degrees, the majority of students are looking to obtain a four-year degree," said Hamby.
This year, the university has decreased slightly in enrollment.
"Right now we're projecting that enrollment will be about 8 percent lower than last year; however, the class will still be about the fourth largest in school history."
Hamby said the decrease is due to many different factors, including lack of on-campus housing. At the largest point, there has been 150 students on the waiting list.
"There is a demand in on-campus housing and since we're not able to accommodate the demand at the moment, students are going elsewhere."
In an improving economy, RSU seems to be doing well in recruiting traditional 18 to 24-year-old students. However, the non-traditional (older) students are decreasing some.
Rather than going back to school, people seem to be holding jobs longer, he said.
"Those factors plus restrictions on certaiin Pell grants have inhibited student growth. The key take away is still that we are having temendous success with enrollment numbers."
Hamby said the university operates a 10-year master plan which states fiscal needs for the campus. The last plan was created very early in the school's transition into a four-year university and every item on the list has been completed, including a new dining has set to open in August 2014.

She's gotten cast for almost every other lead female role since "Millie" that frankly I'm tired of hearing her name on the Tonys now. So my guess is this guarantees Foster gets cast in "Funny Girl"!
But holy cow, there are so many incredible singers and dancers out there waiting for their chance. Broadway has a lot to choose from.
Speaking of Les Mis, I just read that there is going to be a 25th Anniversary tour and something about Nick Jonas? anyone else heard anything? Who would Jonas play? Marius?

But, then again, I've never been a big fan of Cassie. I think it's because I love the character of Sheila in the show, and always consider her and Cassie to be direct competitors for a spot.
How can you not love Donna McKechnie though?
Of course, you can't hate the great Kelly Bishop (who was awesome on Gilmore Girls, but was very impressive in a small role in a movie called An Unmarried Woman).

I will be a joke. Can you imagine playing the 10th anniversary "Dream Cast" after or before whatever Jonas Brother craptastic 25th version they do? It will be ridiculous.
As for a Jonas in "Les Mis", I'll be stepping out to buy a voodoo doll to prevent that from happening. I hate stunt casting!
Unfortunately the rumours about the Jonas Bro are not just wishful thinking....

Disclaimer: I know very little about the Jonas brothers, other than that they are on a Disney show that my nieces don't like.
I agree when it comes to Jonas, he actually did get his start on broadway so I'm willing to see how this goes.
Overedge, thanks for the link. I guess it's confirmed. I just don't see or hear Jonas as Marius. Gavroche is a child in the play, with a higher voice, that is not expected to be powerful and solid. Marius is a whole other role, with duets and duets + 1. I just don't think he has the voice for it. In the article they say it's a star studded cast - of what? Teen kings and queens? The last star studded cast was musical theater greats, probably not to be improved apon. Maybe that's why they're doing this, they can't make it better, so they're appealing to a different generation. Are there plans to bring it back to B'way? To tape it? Anyone know?
If Jonas wants to do B'way, I could see him in "Jersey Boys" more. He has the look and, after all, he is from "Jersey" . Though I don't know if he can do Frankie Valli's falsetto.

The first of over 70 trees donated to the Town of Riverhead by Riverhead Raceway was planted at the town's animal shelter, to provide comfort and shade, on Friday.
Other trees will be planted at other locations around Riverhead Town Supervisor Sean Walter said.
The trees were a gift to the town by Riverhead Raceway, who sponsored a June event in conjunction with The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing's Green Clean Program. The NASCAR program kicked off in 2009 to help mitigate carbon emissions produced by racing, planting 10 trees for each green flag that drops.
An event was held at Riverhead Raceway in June resulting in a gift of approximately $10,000 -- and a total of 71 trees -- to the town by owners Barbara and Jim Cromarty.
The first planting of the trees, Walter said, will be planted at the town's animal shelter on Youngs Avenue in Calverton to provide "much-needed shade" for the animals and help beautify the facility.
"This thoughtful donation by Riverhead Raceway will provide comfort in the hot summer months to the dogs in our care and will improve the look of our somewhat 'ramshackle' animal shelter," Walter said. "We in government operate on such bare-bones budgets that we cannot always do all we'd like to do. These trees are much appreciated as they will provide comfort to man's best friend and will make Riverhead that much more beautiful."
NASCAR has the largest nationwide tree planting program in sports, planting trees for each green flag that drops during a NASCAR-sanctioned race, and capturing 100 percent of the carbon produced by the on-track racing.
Donated trees will be supplied by Verderber's Landscape Nursery.
Walter and Councilwoman Jodi Giglio, who attended the first planting, thanked the Cromartys for their generosity.

Through the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Suite, Red Hat delivers the latest, stable open source developer tool versions at an accelerated cadence than that of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Developers now have access to a robust suite of tools with synchronized availability on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat OpenShiftTM, allowing developers to deploy applications freely to either environment.
"For Linux programmers, having ready access to the latest, stable development tools is key to taking advantage of new Linux advancements," said Jim Totton, vice president and general manager, Platform Business Unit, Red Hat, Inc. "The Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Program makes it easy for developers to access industry-leading developer tools, instructional resources and an ecosystem of experts to help Linux programmers maximize productivity in building great Red Hat Enterprise Linux applications."
Designed for many types of Linux developers, including Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), software solution providers, Systems Integrators (SIs), enterprise, and government software developers, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Suite enhances developer productivity and improves time to deployment by providing affordable access and updates to essential development tools. The latest, stable tooling can be used to develop applications on Red Hat Enterprise Linux whether on-premise or off-premise in physical, virtual and cloud deployments, and on OpenShift, the leading open Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Suite includes:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux, variants, and related Add-On software for development use including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, High-Availability Add-On, Load Balancer Add-On, Resilient Storage Add-On, Scalable File System Add-On, High-Performance Network Add-On, Extended Update Support, and MRG Real Time and Smart Management Add-on.

Delivered as part of the Developer Suite, Red Hat plans to accelerate the release cadence of these tools to deliver the latest, stable open source developer tool versions on a separate life cycle from Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases.
The first version of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Suite includes a toolset that makes developing Linux software applications faster and easier by allowing users to compile once and deploy to multiple versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Using the developer toolset, software developers can now develop Linux applications using the latest C and C++ upstream tools. These tools include the latest GNU Compiler Collection (GCC 4.7) with support for C and C++; the latest version of the GNU Project Debugger (GDB 7.4) with improvements to aid the debugging of applications; and the GNU binutils collection of binary developer tools, version 2.22, for the creation and management of Linux applications.
"The velocity of development is as high today as it has ever been, which means that developers are putting a premium on a toolchain that is current from libraries to compiler," said Stephen O'Grady, Principal Analyst with RedMonk. "With its expanded Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Program and toolset, Red Hat aims to provide developers with just that."

10 Things You Didn't Know About Steven Chu
Steven Chu is President-elect Obama's pick for energy secretary.
1. Steven Chu was born Feb. 28, 1948, in St. Louis.
2. Chu spent most of his childhood in Garden City, N.Y., where his family was one of very few of Chinese descent. Chu's father had emigrated from China to study at MIT in 1943, and his mother did the same two years later.
3. Chu has said that he was not an outstanding student in high school. While he enjoyed a few subjects like geometry and physics, he found most of his classes "a chore." Although he graduated with an A-minus average, he thought of himself as the "academic black sheep" of his family: Many of his relatives hold graduate degrees from prestigious schools.
4. Chu attended the University of Rochester, where he graduated in 1970 with bachelor's degrees in physics and mathematics.
5. Continuing his education in physics, Chu did graduate work at UC-Berkeley. He received his doctorate from there in 1976.
6. After finishing a postdoctoral fellowship, Chu was offered a position as an assistant professor at Berkeley. He decided to take a leave of absence to work at Bell Laboratories, and he stayed there until 1987, eventually becoming head of the quantum electronics research department.
7. While he worked at Bell Labs, Chu was part of a team that won the Nobel Prize in 1997. The research involved using lasers to trap individual atoms by supercooling them.
8. Chu returned to academia in 1987 to teach physics and applied physics at Stanford University. He later became chair of the physics department there.
9. In 2004, Chu was named director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. (As a national laboratory, its work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy.) While there, he has made combating global warming and researching renewable energy sources top priorities.
10. Chu's wife, Jean, is also a physicist and a former professor. Chu has two adult sons from an earlier marriage.
