Fire Cashman and I go from a 6 to a 9.
I'm convinced he has photos of Hank and Hall Steinbrenner doing something they don't want the rest of the world knowing about.
Or it could be the fact that the Yankees have the most wins and World Series titles during his time as GM.
But you're probably right. It's a blackmail thing, not the fact that he's consistently won.
I don't think it's right to fire Cashman but let's be real, out of the last 5 world series wins, he can take credit for only the last one. The core of those teams were built without much input from him.
yeah so if someone else came in and made different mvoes they wouldn't have won.
english fail by me.
what i meant was he can take credit for anything they won while he was in office because he is the guy who signed and brought along basically everyone but the "core four tru yankees (trademark copyright etc etc)"
and if someone else came in and made different moves how do you know they still would have won?
Those teams were built by Stick Michaels. If you wanna give Cashman credit for not fucking things up, that's fine but that's about the best you can do.
no, no they weren't. michael was not the gm after the strike. any personnel moves made after then, including 95 and on were bob watson for a yr then brian cashman. and those teams were definitely winners due to the depth. was the core there? yup. but cashman brought in the pitching non pettitte and key and also filled out the roster with depth.
Graeme Lloyd
All brought in BEFORE Cashman took over as GM in 1998. Sure, Cashman made some moves to keep the train rolling but almost all the major pieces were in place before he took over.
He was a major cog in the FO before taking over… I doubt they just promoted someone who had little impact to GM for the fun of it.
Total Speculation.
Dude seriously? It's "speculation" in that we don't actually know specifically, but to treat the real world of business personnel transactions as some mystical black box into which we can have no insight or reasonably informed opinions is ludicrous.
You're seriously trying to give Cashman credit for moves when he wasn't in charge that you have absolutely no idea how much input, if any, into making?
Give me a break.
You are not giving him credit when you have no idea what impact he actually had… it goes both ways.
You didn't say, "he wasn't the final decision maker." I would have had no problem with that. What you said exactly was: "The core of those teams were built without much input from him." You are the one who started the baseless speculation. Not anyone else. Stop.
You are a fool and I will not waste my day arguing semantics with a mentally defective person.
LOL… so in other words you're wrong and can't admit it?
You speculate over what role Cashman might have had, then I point out you're speculating and say it's overwhelmingly likely you are wrong… and you can't just be a big boy and admit you were wrong?
In the 12 years he was with the organization he failed to make an impact, then they promoted him to GM?
You are speculating as much as I am. At least my speculation is logical.
He's done more harm than good. He's an asset to every other team in the game. If you don't see it that way I think as much of your baseball acumen as I do Cashman's.
So in other words, only my opinion is fact. If you don't agree with me, you obviously know nothing about baseball.
(And ignore the fact I never provided any evidence that he's an asset to every team in MLB but the Yanks).
why is cashman bad and why do you want him fired? what has he done that is so bad esp when compared to 80% of other gms? who would you replace him with? "someone good!!!1!11!"
How about Friedman? Maybe then we'll have a good starter in the next quarter century.
oh you mean the guy who drafted all those great pitchers high in the first half of the draft because his team sucked so bad for so long he had tons of high picks?
the rays have been good for what, 4 years? talk to me when anyof the pitchers they've drafted since they stopped sucking do anything
Yeah exactly. All the great pitchers he drafted so high in the draft; like Hellickson and Matt Moore and James Shields. Wait wat?
Would you trade Nova for Hellickson right now?
In a heart beat
I would in a half-of-a-heartbeat.
Interesting. I assume his .225 BABIP over the last year plus will regress and wouldn't Nova for him.
But he also has a track record of striking out everyone in the minors and has a swinging strike that doesn't match up with his K%. Yeah he's due for BABIP regression, but his Ks should pick up too.
I've also been impressed with John Daniels (Darvish not withstanding) and AA in Toronto. There are very bright baseball people out there. We're the NY Yankees, we get the BEST players money can buy. You can get a great GM for a fraction of the cost.
Will Axisa work for minimum wage? To be GM of the Yankees? He'll moonlight as a bartender if he has to!
They do have a great GM…
They do?
Yeah… they do. His decisions have been good the overwhelming majority of the time. He's made some mistakes, sure. But over a relevant sample any GM will.
His results speak for themselves. And his results aren't all about buying expensive talent. He's put a good team together with Epp, Opp, and Co. who have developed a strong farm system, and found bargain MLB players left and right.
What's your argument that they don't?
People keep giving these one line answers that Cashman should be fired… with no explanation or analysis of his record at all.
Great GM? I'm calling BS on that one.
Average to slightly above average GM who has had tremendous success mostly due to a core that was in place before he took over and due to the Yankees huge financial advantages.
Every GM inherits talent and many GMs who don't have a financial advantage have a draft picks advantage. It's been over 15 years since Cashman took the job… inheriting core players no longer explains his success. He's rebuilt the team multiple times now.
The two hot GMs right now are are Friedman and AA. Friedman inherited a ton of former top picks that have been the core of his teams. AA inherited not only the best P in baseball, but also the best hitter in baseball.
When I look at Cashman's entire record, I see a great decision maker. No need to correct me. I stand behind that. Way more good decisions than bad. Everyone is going to make mistakes in this business. Everyone. He has made mistakes, but he's made a lot of good moves as well.
And inherited the team that continued to give him top picks in Friedman's case. He took advantage, but every GM can only react to their circumstances.
Well, AA does get credit for signing said best hitter to a 5/65 deal.
(And for hypnotizing the Angels)
Yeah, I think AA has done a good job so far. I don't think that anyone has even mentioned taking Escobar off the Braves.
I just think that Cashman has done a good job as well, and done it over quite a long sample.
Yea average to slightly above average maybe even stretch it to good but great whoa slow down buddy.
Keep going with the one liners and no explanation! Really driving your point home by not explaining it at all or giving any examples.
Doing a consistently good job for almost a decade and a half is a great job overall.
AA in tor is the best gm in baseball. he dumped rios, got rid of wells, his entire salary AND GOT A USEFUL PIECE BACK (!!!!!), stole rasmus, got lawrie. i don't think anyone can even dispute he is currently the best based on what he has done in toronto so far.
Then he traded that useful piece for a worthless piece. Colby Rasmus' career as a Blue Jay thus far, .198/.244/.344.
He did not dump Rios. Rios was gone when he got the head job.
He also traded Mike Napoli for a RP… but why look at the whole picture.
Colby Rasmus has hardly been a success yet.
So… yeah, you can definitely dispute him as the best.
He didn't even let Napoli unpack a bag.
You know, the kid that hit 20+ while a part time catcher for the Angels…he got a busted up former ranger closer that netted zilch.
So, AA is good (Wells alone did that) but not perfect by any means. Cash has done better in the scrap heap of former starters, Grandy trade was awesome, and the verdict is still out on Jesus/Pineda.
yeah, having 'good' pitchers when the draft is in your favor from sucking so badly for a decade…
I am sure we would trade in 15 years of 90 win seasons for a 'good' pitcher.
Outside of Price and Niemann how many of their first round pitching picks made it to the bigs
That's 40% of their starting rotation…
Outside of CC and Kuroda what big dollar FAs do the Yankees have in their rotation?
The point is ppl always want to throw cold water of the Rays. "They sucked for a yrs so of course they're a good team"
Just from a mathematical POV I'd like to see what the Yankees would've done with the 1st, 2nd or 3rd pick in EVERY round of the draft for more than a decade. So…yeah, the Rays ought to have a pretty decent home-grown team. They may in fact have under-achieved relative to their draft position.
My point is that people do the same thing to the Yankees with $. My other point is that people want to make the Rays out to be more than they are.
You can say that they've done a very good job without ignoring reality to create a false narrative about how they're a perfect franchise. There has definitely been luck involved and players left over from the previous regime. That's always the case. There have been several very high picks involved (besides the obvious Price, Niemann, Upton, Longoria… Delmon Young also allowed them to turn a prospect into Garza and Barlett who have been turned over themselves). Just like the Yankees have the money advantage.
It's possible that the Rays will keep turning out stars, but it's also possible that they'll hit a rough patch of bad luck like the As and Red Sox did after they were everyone's golden franchise.
I understand the reasons for keeping Cashman, but It wouldnt bother me one bit if he were replaced.
It seems like the best argument to keep Cashman is that there isn't a good replacement available.
The argument is that there isn't a better replacement available because he's done a very good job. He has made mistakes, no doubt, but everyone does. On balance he's made a lot more good moves than bad moves and his team has won every year.
Avi for GM! Now!!
7. Here's what we need to do to get that up to a 10-
Drop Mark Teixera to 7th in the lineup, below Swisher and below Raul. Mark Teixera needs to work with Kevin Long. He hasn't done a damn thing to improve. Wasn't he supposed to be bunting and going the other way to beat the shift? A .220 hitting first baseman is pathetic. Teixera is our Carl Crawford albatross contract.
Here's what I'd do w/Teixeira: since he doesn't hit in April or October (and evidently now May as well), donate his salary in those months to charity.
I'll bet he starts hitting then.
teixeira fwar: 0.1
prince fielder fwar: 0.3
2011 teixeira had the 6th highest WAR of mlb 1b. he was 9th overall in wrc+.
relax. then again the fact that you cited batting average means i probably shouldn't even bother.
if teix isn't a top 10 offensive 1b overall by the allstar break i will be shocked.
If he mentioned the .275 OBP, would you bother?
I know people worship at the alter of advanced stats, but a .220 AVG sucks no matter what the other numbers say.
I hope your prediction for the ASB comes true but I wouldn't hold my breath. The trend since 2009 is not a pretty one and Tex looks completely lost at the plate these days.
I've become increasingly annoyed at how cool it has become to hate on batting average. It may not be as important as other stats (in some peoples mind) but you can't dismiss it as easily as everyone has been doing lately. At some point, BA has to matter, and if you disregard someones argument completely because he uses it, your just ignoring it for the sake of your argument.
It matters only in context, not by itself.
It's like FG% in basketball. Say one guy shoots 45% and one guy shoots 35%… you'd guess the first guy scored more points per shot attempt. You might be wrong, though. The second guy might have shot mostly 3 pointers and made all his FTs, while the first guy might have only shot 2s and missed half his FTs.
If two guys both hit .250… you don't know much of anything about their offensive performance. Walks? Extra base hits? SBs?
I have a 130 IQ but thanks for explaining it to me as if I were a 5th grader. Much appreciated. I finally understand now.
I wasn't commenting on your IQ… I was responding to your comment.
Does anyone really take IQ tests anymore?
How about using your 130 IQ to actually respond to my points?
What is there to respond to? I don't disagree with your logic, and you didn't explain anything to me that I didn't already understand and agree with.
So your comment doesn't change what I said, does it change the comment that it was targeted for. I was commenting about the growing disrespect for the use of BA that would lead to such comments as…
"then again the fact that you cited batting average means i probably shouldn't even bother."
Batting average is "disrespected" because it's a useless stat to quote out of context… that's what I was trying to explain to you… but apparently you aren't putting your 130 IQ to work…
It makes perfect sense to disregard someone who uses BA to summarize someone's offensive output. Batting average doesn't summarize someone's offensive output.
Unfortunately, too many people are blindly dismissing BA without "putting it into context".
As in the case where Mark Teixeira is hitting at a line of .223/.275/.369, but because someone happened to mentioned his dismal .223 BA, instead of his equally dismal .275 OBP or .369 SLG, their response gets no respect.
People around these parts have become stat snobs, where its OK to look down on others because they use or still believe in ERA or AVG.
This is exactly what I was trying to explain to you before. I wasn't trying to be patronizing, I was just trying to explain it. It does seem like you need it explained.
If you think BA is a summation of player's offensive output, it stands to reason that your knowledge of baseball is lacking. The stats are used to quantify it… but the reasoning behind them is a fundamental understanding of baseball.
BA doesn't imply Teixiera's OBP or SLG. Take, for example, Bautista and Pujols so far this season. Comparing BA makes you think they're both struggling equally… they're not, though. Bautista is having a far, far superior season to date.
If Tex draws a few more walks and hits for more power… he might only bring up his average a few points and still have a radically different finish from here on out than his start to the season.
Apparently, you don't know how to read.
I don't disagree with your logic, and you didn't explain anything to me that I didn't already understand and agree with.
Ted Nelson must be some really primitive AI program written (poorly designed I must add) to constantly repeat the same argument over an over with different dressings each time. I'm done talking to this machine that can't parse a comment for the logic, but only replies to keywords.
exactly, Adam Dunn and Jordan Schafer are both hitting .250 right now.
Teixeira actually went opposite on a line drive near the warning track yesterday that the LF ran down. That showed me he is trying to improve. But he has ingrained habits and mechanical issues that conspire against going the other way with consistent success. He's between a rock and a hard place in trying to implement something that his stance and swing mechanics resists and in being discouraged away from pulling the ball because of the shift.
Fire Cashman and Girardi goes with him. The issues with this current lineup only become more pronounced next season and the season after that, unless they waste high-end prospects to get back a bat to try to approximate the one they so willingly gave up. The 'special' bats are a few years off. Guess they should have thought of that before making that stupid trade.
Amen brother.
What problems with the offense? They have the 3rd best offense right now in terms of woBA and wRC+ and are 5th in runs.
I didn't think the trade was the right move, but it also wasn't crazy.
Who are you going to replace these guys with? Why are you firing them?
On vacation. Up to 8 again.
Teixeira is clearly trying to make some adjustments left-handed, so it's not for lack of effort. It's just that he's done something his whole career that now seems to be betraying him and that won't age well. He might have to wait for the off season to attempt to make a lasting change. Meanwhile, he is a very flawed lefty hitter whom the manager refuses to drop down in the order.
He hasn't done it his whole career, though… he changed his swing.
what is the problem with tex? has yankee stadium screwed him up. has his swing/stance, at least from the left side, changed much since 2008/2009? It is amazing to see the his numbers nose dive over the last 4 years. is he just declining? if so, i am scared to see what he does at 35.
It may be a decline in bat speed that a severe upper cut swing and collapsed back leg conspire to make even uglier. Painful to watch him get eaten up by changeups and junk away.
I agree with the commenter (I can't remember who it is) who deducts a point for the $189 cap in 2014 and 2015, the draft spending caps and the international free agent spending caps.
I'm tempted to deduct another point for Teixiera because the thought that he's gonna suck this bad for the next 4 1/2 years is sickening.
Yanks win 4 of 6, are one Houdini act away from sweeping the Rays, they beat King Felix and people still want to fire Giardi and Cashman? Sheesh, I'm convinced God and Jesus could run and manage this team and people would still call for their heads.
Anyway, nice to see Hughes pitching better than I expected and Ibanez getting on a bit of a hot streak after that dreadful spring. I'm still feeling a 7 though. Hughes needs to keep it up, DRob needs to throw less than 25 pitches in the ninth, and Gardner needs to get well soon. Still winning ball games though and that's all that matters right now.
Jesus traded jesus>!?!?! CRUCIFY HIM!!!
They just couldn't have two saviors in NY. Just think of the tabloids!
Not enough room on the back pages of the newspapers!
I am at an 8 if for no other reason, our starting pitching for the next 3-5 years looks like it could actually be a strength. CC is dealing, Hughes (knocking on wood) looks like he may have turned the corner, Nova has come to play and Phelps has proven he can be effective in the rotation. And, oh nothing, Banuelos & Pineda are legit options for 2013.
We also survived week 1 of the post Mo era. so hooray for that
A little bit of a concern with the lineup, as they looked old over the past week and there are no impact bats in the near future.
restated: There are no impact bats COMING UP in the near future.
I agree you have to feel much better about the starting pitching after solid outings by Hughes and Nova as well as ManBan and Betances in AAA plus Phelps looks like he can be a solid back of the rotation starter.
i want hughes to keep this up SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BADLY.
and since his dl stint the young gun has been killing it in aaa. go team
I want Hughes to keep this up, too! I can't quit him. As frustrating as he is to watch sometimes, he's definitely improved. We need you, Phil! Just be phantastic.
The concerns with the lineup are only magnified by Teixeira's descent into futility. He just can't hit the ball with authority anymore. Where are the doubles to the gaps? Where are the homers? People talk about AROD's contract as a weight around the team's neck, but look at what Teixeira has got owed to him these next 4 seasons.
I voted an 8 because I'm an optimist and because, RAUUUUUUUULvoldemortIBANEZ.
already been worth that 1.1 mil
In terms of winning the World Series, which is the goal, I am at a 5. Starting pitching has been poor and hitting has been on and off.
The loss of Rivera will really hurt in the postseason and has already hurt us in the short term.
Now of course, this means nothing now, but its what I think.
And I still back the Montero deal because I understand why Cashman did it. His inability to develop quality starting pitching that help us, outside of Wang and maybe Nova since Andy Pettite has begun to bite us in the longterm ass.
the reigning ws champs' rotation wasn't setting the world on fire last year either…
just sayin, YCPB, suze.
No Pineda. No Rivera. Pretty much no Teixeira.
I have alot more faith in Prince Fielder's ability to turn it around ROS than Teixeira. My score is a solid 6; a more than fair accounting considering the bad breaks this Yankees season has sustained. I do enjoy the Cano awakening and Ibanez's power display. Arod is healthy and so long as he remains so can contribute as a top-5 AL 3B.
The rotation isn't in great shape, but Hughes's 7.2 IP was the week's highlight and hopeful harbinger of continued quality starts. I dont expect the moon anymore from Hughes … but more quality starts than poor starts would be a good starting point.
The Yanks should do this:
- Trade Martin, Swisher, and Ibanez by the trading deadline i.e. get something for guys who could and probably will walk after this season.
- Pick up the 2013 club option on Granderson then trade him, Rodriguez, and Teixiera in the offseason.
- After Granderson, Rodriguez, and Teixiera are traded, the Yanks should do this in this order.
Extend Jeter through 2015 for $37M ($18M for 2014 + $19M for 2015 so he gets $1M raises for another two years.)
Extend Cano through 2018 (age 36 on 10/22/18) with a 4 year x $18.75M a year = $75M ($90M total 2013-18 with his $15M club option for 2013) deal I think he'd accept. Tell him he will be the vice-captain to Jeter then the captain of the team after Jeter retires or is no longer with the team.
Re-sign Melky Cabrera for 6 years x $10M a year = $60M (his walk year is the same as his pal Cano's.)
Re-sign Juan Rivera for a year and say $3.5M with a $4M club option for 2014 if the Dodgers don't pick up his $4M club option for 2013 (I doubt they will – they will most likely buy him out for half a mil.) Rivera would still make $4M total for 2013 if he accepted a one-year $3.5M deal from the Yanks ($3.5M from the Yanks + $500K buyout from the Dodgers) and he would double that through 2014 if the Yanks picked up his 2014 club option.
Reacquire Alfonso Soriano for half his remaining contract (the Cubs would pay and free up $9M for 2013 and the same for 2014 – Theo Epstein would do this to get rid of Soriano as paying and getting rid of $18M is better than being stuck with $36M.)
Move Jeter to 1B and make Nunez the new SS.
Start Austin Romine at C, Ronnier Mustelier at 3B, and Mason Williams in CF.
C – Romine
1B – Jeter (lone old everyday player and player over 34 as of 7/2/13 the day before Juan Rivera's 35th birthday)
2B – Cano
3B – Mustelier
SS – Nunez
LF – Gardner (backup CF)
CF – Williams
RF – Cabrera
DH – Rivera (backup RF; only everyday player in his thirties besides Cano and Jeter as of Cano's 30th birthday 10/22/12; only everyday player older than 30 besides Jeter)
Cervelli (backup C)
Brandon Laird (backup 1B and 3B)
Ramiro Pena (backup 2B and SS)
Soriano (backup LF who could share DH with Rivera)
The Yanks 2013 bullpen could be all homegrown, too, on 5/3/12 if Rivera returns a year from the date he got injured, Randy Choate was re-signed to be the second lefty, Chamberlain, Phelps, and Mitchell were in the bullpen, and Soriano was traded in the offseason (Rivera / Robertson / Chamberlain / Logan / Choate / Phelps / Mitchell.)
The Yanks 2013 rotation could be 4/5ths homegrown if Pettitte was re-signed and one of the AAA starters was made the fifth starter (Sabathia / Nova, Pettitte, and Hughes in any order / homegrown fifth starter.)
Under my plan, Sabathia would be the ONLY non-homegrown player on the 25-man roster.
make gardner "Secretary of Outfield" and mo "Speaker of the Bullpen" and i'm in
Did I somehow step into the electronic world of MLB 2k12?
This post has my vote as the most asinine so far in 2014.
Is this a serious post? Why is it a goal to have all homegrown guys?
Must be for the Green-house gas theory effect…if they are all produced at home it would take less in carbon credits as you don't have to transport them…
wait, what?
Yes it's serious he posted the same thing on Lohud.
I voted an 8 down from 9. My confidence has gone down a bit from observations with the pitching. I do not believe Kuroda will be the steady consistent pitcher against the heavier hitting clubs in the AL. Pineda's injury has brought down the score. CC, Hughes and Nova will be solid for the Yanks keeping them in games. The offense has been inconsistent with hitting or not hitting Kevin Millwood a prime example of a pitcher who shopuld be banged around and was not. This team with all its excellent hitters has a very tough time getting the timely hit and this its not against playoff pitching so I'm a bit negative on this aspect. The inuries to the defense and offense in general has put a weaker product on the field every night. Until Gardner gets back and Ibanez and Jones play their specific roles as designed in the off season than we will not be as strong a club and the further into the season may bring further breakdowns which can not be repaired.
If Jeter was to go down for an extended DL of 30 days who covers short. Nunez would be call up and we know he'll do Ok offensively but he's no Jeter and Jeter has a ton of detractors out there.
Teix. inability to adapt to a more productivity AB's is a concern. He needs to be placed in the backend of the lineup.
Its only May and their are not many teams who you can pick out and say they are WS bound or have a legit chance of winning but watching the yanks in comparison to last year. I do not see them heading in that direction but its way to early. This why I'm still at a very positive 8. I believe the team for the most part will improve numbers with the win % total.
I too went down from a normal nine to an eight about three weeks ago (after Pineda, Hughes, 2/3rds of the OF out, etc).
However, if the AAA rotation gets a crusin', the low-A boys continue to own Sally, they mash the easiest part of the schedule, etc., I'll be at a nine again by Memorial Day.
I voted an 8.
The 15% (or so) that voted a 5 or less just confirms my theory that about 20% of people in the world are wack-a-doodle…having 25% less than the 20% (on the crazy scale), confirms that Yankee fans are a lessor extent of crazy than the population as a whole.
Been at an 8, staying at an 8.
Even with our injuries (Mariano, Pineda, Gardner, Swisher, etc.) and underperformance of some key pieces (Tex, Cano, A-Rod, Kuroda, Hughes, etc), we're still over .500 and very much within the race for the AL East spot. We'll only get better.

When Waters Rise: Nine Basic Steps for Flood Response and Recovery
Severe weather and flooding throughout the nation's Midwest has recently brought salvage and recovery of cultural collections and family treasures onto our front pages once more. The Library's Preservation Directorate has long provided information to support preservation, including emergency preparedness and disaster response for individuals and families as well as libraries, archives, and museums . See also Quick Reference: Disaster Response and Recovery, Spring/Summer 2008; A Primer on Disaster Preparedness, Management and Response: Paper-Based Materials, and Response to Floods and Water Damage for Libraries, Archives, Museums, and other Repositories for reliable, practical information for institutions and individuals faced with flood protection, salvage, and recovery of collections.
- Place human safety first. Listen for flood watches and warnings. Evacuate early, helping all people who need help to depart safely. Follow recommended exit routes.
- Protect collections by moving them to upper levels of the building. Brace and secure large objects, covering them with plastic. Back up essential databases (collection documentation and business records) and take the back-ups to the upper level of the building. Cover all collections with plastic sheeting and tape down.
- If you can't evacuate, move emergency supplies, high-value collections, emergency plan, and vital records to the highest part of the building. Wait until the water has receded, then evacuate with great care. Avoid all areas with standing or running water. Move carefully when exiting as walks and roads may be slippery or crumbling.
- Shut down the building when necessary. Sandbag areas likely to leak. Tape or board windows or use storm shutters. Super cool the building to the extent possible using HVAC, then turn off all utilities, particularly gas and electricity, at the source.
- Keep in touch with civil authorities, managers (including building managers), and emergency plan personnel about your location and situation via cell phone.
- Once authorities state that the building is safe for re-entry, put on protective equipment, then assess and document the collections and building damage. Before entering, put on nitrile gloves, masks, long-sleeved clothing, and hard-bottomed rubber boots or steel-toed boots). Enter with care. Watch for broken or sharp materials; sagging ceilings, floors, and walls; asbestos; electrical/gas hazards; chemicals and contaminants; carbon monoxide from improperly vented pumps or generators (be alert to dizziness, headaches, nausea); animals; and mold. After assessing damage, call managers, insurance agents, and salvage/freezer contractors. Mobilize your emergency team.
- Dry out the building and collections by opening doors and windows to establish cross-ventilation. Add fans, lights, dehumidifiers, and other drying agents such as pumps and generators as soon as it is safe to use power sources.
- Remove and dry collection items from the mud or water in priority order and take them to your salvage space, where you have supplies and tools. Begin drying. If you can't dry materials within 48 hours, obtain assistance from a contractor to freeze or dry collections in a cool, dry space. If collections are not frozen or dried in 48 hours, mold growth is likely.
- Dry items at greatest risk within your most valuable collections first (i.e., coated paper, parchment, photographs, vellum). For more guidance see Library of Congress Emergency Drying Procedures for Water Damaged Collections and for family treasures.

I might be an Obamacare winner. After months of frustration, I might qualify for a policy with better benefits, slightly lower premiums and a smaller deductible. But it comes at a steep price.
The cost of my Obamacare policy cannot be measured in dollars and cents but in dignity. It is transforming me from a contributing member of society into a welfare recipient; its corrosive system of subsidy incentives discourages me from working harder. My familiarity with the law has only bred contempt. Now that I see whats in it, I dont just hope but pray that it is overturned, replaced with reforms that actually improve the health care system.
My Obamacare story began in September. I liked my Blue Cross/Blue Shield policy covering the five members of my healthy family. I wasnt crazy about the $440 monthly premium and $10,000 deductible, but our out-of-pocket expenses were only about $1,200 a year. Because of the tax savings of using a health savings account, we were paying less than when I had employer insurance. We didnt have free contraception, but we made do.
I didnt realize my plan was substandard until I received a letter from BCBS in early October saying that a policy deemed adequate by the president would raise my premium to $1,100 a month and my deductible to $12,400.
After some spirited discussions with the presidents supporters, I went online to see whether I could get a better rate through the federal exchange. The problems with the website are now legend, and I wont bore you with all the mind-numbing details (unless, of course, you want me to and then I wont shut up; just ask my wife). I will say that anyone who described those problems as glitches was ignorant of the facts and shilling for the administration.
As someone who works on a PC all day, I am used to spinning wheels but I have never seen them whirl and twirl with such sound and fury as they did on healthcare.gov. The unfailingly polite people at the customer service center and I talked to lots of them were using the same system, so they couldnt help. The phone number I was given for local navigators did not work. The paper application I requested was missing pages needed to add my children.
In early December, BCBS said I could keep my old policy for $565 a month but I hadnt given up on healthcare.gov.
I was finally able to delete my first Obamacare application and fill out a new one over the phone, in about 30 minutes. The system, however, would not allow me to pick a plan, so I had to call back to fix that. Now, with the Dec. 23 deadline looming to ensure no lapse in coverage on Jan. 1, I must send a letter from my employer verifying my salary. I assume hundreds of thousands of others must do the same. I am not confident that each of our applications can be approved, by hand, in a day or two during Christmas.
Lets pretend everything works out a big if, given the massive problems insurance companies are having getting reliable information from the federal government. According to the website, I will be paying $452 a month for a policy with a $6,000 deductible and a few favorable co-pay rates. That rate includes a subsidy of $10,140 a year, which far exceeds what I expect to pay in federal income taxes during 2014. Instead of giving money to the government, I am now a taker. This sickens me.
Because my subsidy is based on income, I may think twice about earning more because my effective tax rate on each extra dollar will be about 50 percent. This saddens me.
Without the subsidy, my policy would cost $15,672 a year with a $6,000 deductible (before I was paying $5,280 for a $10,000 deductible). This angers me.
Nancy Pelosi famously said we have to pass the law to know whats in it. We now know that President Obama told profound lies to sell his program he should call his next book The Mendacity of Hope.
And now we know why he lied. Obamacare replaces a flawed system with one that is far worse. It gouges the affluent and turns the middle-class into wards of the state. This is Obamas legacy, and it is a tragedy.

Hooksett man facing two negligent homicide charges in boating death
Eric Cable, 33, was indicted on two counts of negligent homicide for the July 14 incident that resulted in the death of Brendan Yerry, 28, of Hudson.
The new charges were made public this week in superior court. A Rockingham County grand jury handed up three charges against Cable earlier this month.
Cable faces up to 7½ to 15 years in state prison on one of the new charges for allegedly operating the boat while under the influence of alcohol, according to an indictment.
Prosecutors say while Cable was driving the boat, he allowed Yerry to ride on the gunwales or straddle the bow.
Yerry fell overboard and was struck by the boat when Cable turned into the wake of another boat, according to indictments.
Yerry was not wearing a life jacket when he went into the water around 7:40 p.m., according to the New Hampshire Marine Patrol.
Divers from the N.H. Fish and Game Department spent more than 12 hours searching for Yerry's body. It was found the morning after in about 15 feet of water, 550 feet from the northeast shoreline, according to investigators.
Northwood Lake sits between Rockingham and Merrimack Counties, spanning roughly 650 acres. Prosecutors say Cable was operating the boat in Northwood.
At the time of the incident, investigators could not say how fast Cable was driving the 18-foot motor boat.
Cable was initially charged with operating under the influence. That charge was bound over to superior court. He also faces two violation-level boating offenses. He remains free on bail.
Cable will be arraigned later this month on the new charges in Rockingham County Superior Court.

COMMENTARY | Would it be unfair to suggest that "Filipino Flash," Nonito Donaire and his team are playing a high-stakes game of "Duck, Duck, Goose?" Or, in this case, "Duck, Duck, Darchinyan?"
Maybe it wouldn't be right to categorize the 2012 Fighter of the Year in that way, but appearance is a big thing in boxing. It's especially big among the fans, who only get to see the tip of the iceberg when it comes to contractual dealings and other behind the scenes issues.
When Abner Mares and Golden Boy Promotions walked away empty handed after trying to goad Top Rank and Nonito Donaire into a junior featherweight unification bout, there was, apparently, a silver lining to the storm cloud.
Team Donaire couldn't be coaxed into facing Mares for $3 million, but only because Donaire was already committed to a bout with the other junior featherweight titlist, Guillermo Rigondeaux. Right? That's what Top Rank bossman Bob Arum said, anyway. That's what the media reports indicated.
Now, as Mares has officially decided to move up to featherweight and the Donaire-Mares bout is forever left to message board debate, it appears as though the Rigondeaux fight is on shaky ground.
According to reports, the two-time Olympic gold medalist and current WBA junior featherweight champ is pressuring Top Rank to settle their ongoing lawsuit with his previous promoter, Caribe Promotions, before officially moving ahead with any future fight plans.
Nobody on the outside quite knows why Rigondeaux is insistent on settling old scores before moving ahead, but it may have to do with the chaos and distraction prior to trying to put together his last fight. Last September's bout with Robert Marroquin was on-again, off-again several times due to threatened legal action from Caribe Promotions and officially confirmed less than two weeks before the actual date. It's fair to want a distraction-free environment prior to a legacy-defining bout with Donaire.
Arum, however, feels that Rigondeaux is somehow being manipulated by his former promoter.
"It's craziness. If he don't straighten out, we'll go to [Vic] Darchinyan," Arum told Boxingscene.com. "[Caribe] is trying to use the kid to put muscle on us to settle a lawsuit that we feel has no value. We offered him the fight. We've offered him a lot of money for the fight. If he doesn't take it, we'll move on to the next guy. He has to understand that he is very much the B-side."
The question in this whole matter is: Did Rigondeaux suddenly get this idea that Arum and Caribe should settle their lawsuit or has this been a point of concern for awhile? Nobody other than the actual participants knows the truth and timing of this, but if this has been an ongoing issue, then Arum knew all along that closing a deal for a fight with the Cuban was going to lead to a dead end.
In turn, that would mean that the underlying reason for passing on Abner Mares was pure fabrication. Rigondeaux, who just shook up his team with a change in trainers, might never have been on board. Darchinyan, quite possibly, was the plan all along.
Donaire-Darchinyan, a rematch of Donaire's 2007 TKO 5 breakthrough victory at flyweight, is not as awful as, say, Donaire-Arce, but it's not the type of fight a superstar, pound-for-pound talent takes in his prime. And it surely isn't the type of fight that gets made over Mares and Rigonedeaux bouts.
Maybe five years ago this was a worthwhile return feature, but not now. Darchinyan, despite a couple of solid wins here and there, is well-worn and hasn't looked very good at his higher weight. But we really don't know what's what in terms of Arum's efforts to find a worthwhile fight for Donaire. Maybe Darchinyan is the best opponent to be had. Or maybe we've fallen victim to the bait and switch-- Hint at Mares and Rigondeaux, give us Darchinyan.
But, getting back to appearances in boxing. Some may look at all this mess and refer back to the old quote of: "If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck." Fans don't concern themselves with contract talk and other such matters. They just want good fights, big fights, meaningful fights. And this is something that Team Donaire seems reluctant to give them.

Aéropostale Reviews in Philadelphia, PA US
100% of the CEO
Thomas P. Johnson
Review Highlights
Aero is pretty good to their employees, and great discount(in 36 reviews)
The only thing good about working here is the employee discount(in 34 reviews)
Upper Management did not provide a work life balance(in 17 reviews)
Not enough staff help because they hire little kids and pay them minimum wage(in 21 reviews)
"This company attracts high quality people"
Pros – this company offers competitive pay and awesome benefits.
Cons – Some disconnect between corporate partners and the field (i.e. mis communications, lack of clarity in communication, etc.)
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"The best 5 years of my life so far."
Pros – You move up in the company very fast. They offer opportunity to go to school and graduate. The company is involved with lots of community service and charity events. You get an amazing discount to all the latest fashion.
Cons – You could be working for years because they offer good money.
Advice to Senior Management – Be prepared to deal with the unexpected things always pop up and never go as planned. The biggest piece of advice i can give you is when things go wrong dont make an excuse plan to fix it and get it done correctly.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"Great experience and always learning and contributing"
Pros – Great team members
Great learning experience in retail sales and customer service
Culture is casual and everyone is happily willing to mentor
Cons – Long and sometimes unexpected hours
Management ignores initial list of days you can't work
Hours of following week are cut if you cannot work a day that was scheduled for you, even if you were a student
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"My DM hated me."
Pros – it was great as an introduction to retail, a hands on environment that had a specific duty and included all members of the team in the responsibility.
Cons – in my second year of working there i noticed the company trying to gear itself more towards the likes of hollister and abercrombie. they started hiring solely based on looks and gave hours that way as well.
Advice to Senior Management – stop trying to fix something thats not broken people like the store bc it wasn't like other places,
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
"Sales Associate"
Pros – Co workers were friendly and passionate and hardworking
Cons – Customers were rude and made lots of messes
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"Aeropostale was a great first-job, but not a career building place."
Pros – You are encouraged to wear jeans and flip flops to work. You get decent discounts. Some of the clothes are pretty cute. There's always something happening within the company to try and promote sales in a fun way. Depending on the store manager, your pay can be pretty nice.
Cons – There is not much room for growth while working there. Unless you are 21, you are not getting promoted. Be prepared to work with high school kids who only want to get drunk and/or high. There is definitely a clique within the establishment.
Advice to Senior Management – Do not get drunk with the high school kids. Also, you may want to actually fit in the clothes that you're trying to sell to other people.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"Good company"
Pros – Job security, company is doing well
Cons – no-life, worked alot of hours and nights and weekends
Advice to Senior Management – show more respect to employees
"Aeropostale Sales Associate"
Pros – - the discount was very nice. we had a 30-50% discount. this discount also included items that were on sale.
Cons – - one downside about working in aeropostale was that the managers were not professional.
- if we worked a closing shift, we would also have to work late into the night-- sometimes into 3-4am.
Advice to Senior Management – - as the store's jeanius, i thought it was a good way to give myself experience with my leadership skills
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"Challenging but rewarding"
Pros – The way that Aeropostale runs sales promotions, internal marketing adjustments and merchandise flow is challenging but in a good way. It really gives you the opportunity to find out what you're made of as a manager and as a team player. The time constraints and limited opportunities to be prodded into being a more effective manager really force you to examine your abilities and learn from the challenges presented.
Cons – The pros and cons are kind of the same. If you are the type of person who is unsure or just starting to get a real feel for the type of manager you are going to be, Aero adapts a sink or swim type of attitude. Training and workshops are provided but are informal and often consist of a bunch of managers gossiping and chatting the whole time. You really need to take initiative and find out how to do things on your own because you are unlikely to receive support from upper management in terms of developing your strengths.
Advice to Senior Management – Slow down and get organized! Even though it is beneficial to make snap decisions on sales based on product sell through, it also negatively impacts the stores as they try to scramble to get more done with less. Think things through before you put them into action. If a coupon is being sent out to increase transactions, not sales, then you should give the stores extra payroll to manage the overflow. Customers end up suffering when employees are stressed to their breaking points.

Hours before the Buffalo Bisons opened a four-game series with the Toledo Mud Hens, the press box at Coca-Cola Field was already filled with laptops. See, the New York City media descended on Buffalo today what with the Mets having the day off and the big-buzz guy pitching for the Herd today.
Matt Harvey gets his 18th start of the season for Buffalo tonight and he's the latest rage in the social media stratosphere when it comes to the Mets and pitching rotation. He name has been mentioned routinely as a potential call-up to the big league club this season and the chatter grew more intense in the past week when Dillon Gee was put on the injured reserved list and underwent surger for a blood clot in his shoulder. Gee's spot in the rotation comes up again Saturday at Citi Field and there's been much speculation that the Harvey will get his first trip to the big leagues for the start.
And so the speculation continued to downtown Buffalo Monday afternoon as reporters questioned J.P. Ricciardi, special assistant to Mets' General Manager Sandy Alderson. Would Monday night serve as an audition for Harvey?
"I don't think this is a make or break start for him or anything like that," Ricciardi said.
"I can tell you that I'm not up here to make that decision. I can tell you if that decision comes it wouldn't be based I think on just today. I don't want to sit here and tell you that could happen and then it doesn't happen. But I'm just here to really see where he's at. ... I wasn't told that this is an audition for him, that [he pitches] well and he's in the big leagues. I think we're just excited that we've got some good young arms. We'd be foolish to rush him in any way, shape or form.
"Ultimately he's going to be a big leaguer. When it is, only time will tell. ... Ultimatley Matt will be pitching for the Mets at some point."
Harvey is 7-4 for the Herd this year with a 3.39 earned run average.
Also in the lineup for the Herd tonight is Jason Bay, who continues his Major League rehabilitation assignment with the Herd after suffering a concussion on June 15 with the Mets. In his two appearances with the Bisons, Bay has gone 3 for 8 (.375).
Tonight's Bisons lineup:
Fred Lewis -- DH
Jason Bay -- LF
Adam Loewen -- 1B
Zach Lutz -- 3B
Matt den Dekker -- CF
Josh Satin -- 2B
Matt Tuiasosopo -- RF
Josh Rodriguez -- SS

SEATTLE - As a U.S. Coast Guard Navigational Assist Boat headed out Friday morning, the crew was keeping a close eye on the weather.
"We have 10 to 15 knot winds out of the Southwest and seas are two feet," announced a crew member as the the boat bounced through the seas on its way to Eagle Harbor.
These conditions are of no concern for a 55-foot Coast Guard vessel, but they are less than ideal for the mission ahead. The crew must connect the boat to a navigational platform at the entrance of the harbor, then climb up a 20-foot ladder to change a light bulb.
This is not just any bulb, it's a navigational marker that boats, ships and ferries use to find their way safely through Puget Sound. Currently a bulky lamp, battery and separate solar panel occupy the platform. The crew is swapping that system out for a self contained, one piece lantern that has tested out to be just as bright, last twice and long and cost half as much as the older style.
It's part of the Coast Guard's dual goal of fiscal and environmental protection when it comes to these lights. They've already changed out 88 units and have another 97 to go. When they are done, they will save money on costs at the front end and over time. The new lights last longer and require fewer check-ups.
That has to be welcome news to the crew members who have to step off a bouncing boat onto a primitive ladder and climb 20 feet up against powerful winds to make the switch.

Local woman gets 26 years on murder conviction
Robinson, 22, planned 2011 murder of Rockcastle man
by Heather Tomlinson
Commonwealth Journal
Somerset —
A Pulaski County woman convicted on multiple charges in connection with the 2011 death of a Rockcastle County man was sentenced to more than 25 years in prison.
Commo-wealth's Attorney Eddy F. Montgomery announced Monday that Jessica Hailey Robinson, 22, was sentenced to 26 years in prison for her role in the December 2011 shooting death of Jackie Bullock.
Robinson in early August was convicted on charges of wanton murder, first-degree complicity to commit robbery, complicity to manufacture methamphetamine, and second-degree being a persistent felony offender.
Prosecutors during the five-day trial presented a jury evidence that showed on Dec. 1, 2011, Robinson and four others — Gary Lee Kirby, Mary Hannah Hunsucker, Joshua Cameron and Bobby Peters, all of Mt. Vernon — lured Bullock to Peters' residence with the intent of taking Bullock's prescription pain medicine and cash, according to Montgomery.
Testimony from the trial indicated that the group had been making and using methamphetamine for several days leading up to the incident. According to Montgomery, Robinson became angry at Bullock because of allegations that he had made about her and another co-defendant, then suggested that the group rob Bullock in retaliation.
Evidence introduced in the trial showed that Robinson knew Bullock had recently obtained a prescription for 150 Oxycontin pills, and made numerous phone calls to him to get him to Peters' residence. Once Bullock arrived, Robinson left with him in order to allow the remaining co-defendants to prepare for the crime. Upon their return, Robinson remained at the residence while Bullock left to go home.
As Bullock was leaving, Kirby told Bullock to stop and give him his pills, according to Montgomery. Bullock tried to leave, and Kirby fired two shots into the car, striking Bullock in the back and causing his death.
The jury in August, after deliberating, recommended a 22-year sentence for Robinson.
Peters, Kirby, Hunsucker and Cameron had pleaded guilty to their involvement in the crimes, with Kirby, Cameron and Peters each receiving a 25-year sentence and Hunsucker getting 20 years in prison.
It was during Robinson's Sept. 13 sentencing hearing when Rockcastle Circuit Judge Jeffrey T. Burdette opted to hand down a harsher sentence than what the jury initially recommended.
"Methamphetamine and illegal drugs are a scourge on the Commonwealth, and Bullock gave his life as a result," said Burdette. "I am convinced that (Robinson) was the instigator, and but for her manipulation, none of this would have happened.
"I rarely invade the process of the jury, but the law leaves the sentencing to the judge," Burdette added during the hearing.
Burdette added an additional four years to the recommended 22-year sentence for a total of 26 years in prison.
Robinson will be required to serve 85 percent of her sentence before she's eligible for parole, which means she will have to serve at least 22 years.

Affordable Health Insurance
How to find Affordable Health Insurance
Nothing is more precious for us than having a sound health without any ailments, and in this age of soaring health care costs this is not possible without an affordable health insurance plan. Today people are aware of the significance of sound health in order to enjoy their life to the fullest. However, as the famous saying goes, " there is nothing that is certain in this life", we would always have surprises and uncertainties in our lives. We may get sick or even get involved in some accident.
In all such cases, any serious illness or disease can deplete lifelong savings and may even push us towards bankruptcy. With rising medical expenses, laboratory and doctor's fees, everything is now complicated and expensive. It is in these circumstances that affordable health insurance can benefit us all. Although health insurance may cost you money, but no health insurance may cost you even more. Medical bills can burn holes in your savings and in case of diseases like cancer, treatment and doctor's fees, diagnoses, and chemotherapy can ruin you financially.
NorthWestPharmacy.com is a leading licensed Canadian Pharmacy Online.
Affordable health insurance can help you pay for the expenses incurred on surgeries, regular medical check ups, glasses and contact lenses, and other emergency treatments. You can get two types of health insurance plans, the managed care plan and indemnity plan.
Managed Care Health insurance offers limited choice of doctors, laboratories, hospitals, and other medical services. Only the ones that have contracts with Health Maintenance Organization are covered. You will get only those medical services that are authorized by the plan. If you want to get treatment from non-authorized medical service provider than the cost will not be provided by the insurance company.
Wondering How To Get Rid of Moles By Yourself? Find Out What You Should Know About Body Moles Before You Even Consider
The indemnity insurance plan is also referred to as fee for service plan. You get much wider flexibility and freedom in terms of choices of hospitals, doctors, laboratories and various other medical providers if that service is included in the contract. However, in this affordable health insurance plan, the insurance provider shoulders only 20 percent of the payment. This plan covers only accidents and illnesses and does not include birth control and flu shots. Aside from that, coverage of psychotherapy and prescription drugs depend upon the policy of the provider.
Due to the increased demand for much better and wider coverage, many companies providing affordable health insurance are now providing hybrid plans. These plans combine the benefits of indemnity coverage and HMOs. In this type of plan, you can use network of medical service providers having contracts with HMO, but you can use anybody from outside the network and pay higher fee. In managed care plans you can see any network medical specialist without any need for referrals from HMO.
You should do your homework when researching on affordable health insurance plans for you and your family. You should carefully evaluate your family needs and choose a best health insurance company that can provide those needs. In any case, lowest premiums do not guarantee you a cheapest plan. Actually, the affordable health insurance plan is the one that gives best benefits to you and your family in case of illnesses and medical emergencies.

WASHINGTON — The Navys top admiral says the four U.S. destroyers off the coast of Syria are fully ready for a wide range of possible action.
Adm. Jonathan Greenert, the chief of naval operations, told an audience at the American Enterprise Institute on Thursday that the U.S. ships are prepared for what he called a vast spectrum of operations, including launching Tomahawk cruise missiles at targets in Syria and protecting themselves in the event of retaliation.
Greenerts role is to ensure that naval forces are properly trained and equipped; he is not in the chain of command.
The Navy says the Tomahawk missiles that could be launched by the destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean cost $1.5 million each.

quote:Originally posted by stusviewsA static IP for the SL is done by clicking on the wrench and selecting "Change Network Settings." More about that. later.Your ISP provides a dynamic address, so the setting for the router, "Get Dynamically for ISP," is correct.Q: How did you previously set the port number?A: I picked the number out of thin air. Previously, I think it chose either 80 or 8080. I picked a different number because the camera uses 8080, and I thought there could be a conflict.Q: The gateway, 192.168.1.1, is the address of your router. (Is 196 a typo?) The mask, 255.255.255.0, is standard for, most often, a PC LAN.A: (196 was a typo)If "I'm at home" indicates a dynamic IP, the the address can change.Changing the IP and port requires several steps, as follows:1. At the Change Network Setting screen, enter the desired port (e.g., 192.168.1.4).2. Leave the Gateway at 192.168.1.1 and the Subnet Mask at 255.255.255.0 and the port at 80.3. Select Disabled for the DHCP.4. Select save.5. Power cycle the SL (unplug, replug) and browse to the new address (e.g., http://192.168.1.4).You can stop at that point and be assured that the SL address won't change. Or you can go on the the next phase an ensure that nothing else on your network uses that address.Here's how another device can use the address: Most addresses on a LAN are assigned dynamically. That means that when a networked device is connected, it usually uses the first available address. If the SL cat5 cable is disconnected/defective or the SL has lost power, the new device may find and use that IP address. Although that situation is not highly likely, it is possible.Q: BTW,, I have a concern about the differing ports you reported, to wit, 1234 and 80.A: (again--I chose that number--I inserted it into the router port forwarding setting and into the SL setting.)
quote:Originally posted by KeepOnTruckin[For awhile, I could put the IP address directly into the browser address bar and it would, connect, asking for the SL login. I believe I was NOT putting the port in. Which makes me wonder how it would know I was looking for the SL, as opposed to the camera.

Raw Japan
Slices of Japanese business, politics and life
Did you hear the one about the bureaucrats?
Japan's bureaucrats may have little to laugh about these days, given opposition charges of misspent tax money, but that has not stopped one ministry offering its officials a unique form of training — as stand-up comics.
More than 100 transport ministry officials in their 20s got tips this week from professional comedians as part of training in communication skills.
"By experiencing comedy routines, we hope they can learn more about how to speak to clients and how to manage their staff as they begin to have more management responsibility," Atsuya Kawada in the ministry's personnel division told me.
The training coincides with attacks by the main opposition Democratic Party, eyeing victory in a looming election, on what the party calls wasteful public spending due to decades of policy collusion between bureaucrats and ruling party lawmakers.
Kawada said the approach was better than just listening to lectures for young officials, who are often tired from long working hours.
"We also hope this training will soften the stiff image of bureaucrats," he added.

A little tricky to set up, but works well when adjusted. The blade stays sharp for a reasonable amount of passes. Works better pulling than pushing, so I might add a dowel through the "back" to make that easier! more like a Japanese plane.

Ceremony marks Horace Good Middle School move
By RACHAEL GRAY
By RACHAEL GRAY
Horace Good's tenure as the superintendent of USD 457 Garden City public schools was known as "The Good Years."
Now, officials at Good's namesake school, Horace Good Middle School, hope to make a positive era of their own.
School officials, members of Good's family and members of the Garden City Area Chamber of Commerce held a dedication and ribbon cutting Tuesday at the middle school, 1412 N. Main St. Brad Springston, the school's principal, said it was an honor to have the building named after Good.
"When the board of education named Horace J. Good after Dr. Good, because of his leadership from 1969 to 1984, I began to look back at the successes of his tenure," he said.
Springston said Good was known for handling transitions effectively.
"It has been said by those who worked under Dr. Good, and under his leadership, that he met challenges head-on with the assistance of a cooperative community ...," he said.
Good was USD 457 superintendent from 1969 to 1984, and in 2010, the district decided to name Horace Good Middle School in his honor.
During his tenure, the former IBP plant opened up in Finney County, bringing rapid growth to the county and school district.
While he was superintendent, the number of teachers increased from 339 to 620. The number of students increased from 4,792 in 1969 to 5,275 in 1984. The annual budget was about $3,185,000 in 1969 and more than $15 million in 1984.
During his tenure, Pierceville and Plymell elementary schools combined as Pierceville-Plymell Attendance Center, Kenneth Henderson Junior High School (now Kenneth Henderson Middle School) and Gertrude Walker and Florence Wilson elementary schools were built, a fire-razed Garfield Elementary School was rebuilt and the GCHS music addition was built.
Springston said the middle school project is part of the USD 457 long-range facilities plan that led to the building of the new Garden City High School that paved the way for the middle school to move into the old GCHS building.
The building was constructed in 1954 and has been added onto eight times in the last 58 years, Springston said.
He said staff will be upholding Good's name, and added that they take pride in Good's service to the district. Good died Sept. 21 at the age of 93.
Patrick Baca, Good's grandson, spoke Tuesday on behalf of his family. Baca said Good's passion for education did not stop after his retirement, and that he continued to be involved with the district.
Baca also said part of Good's strength came from his wife, Eleanor.
"I know this dedication is an honor for Grandpa, but I can't help but mention my grandma, Eleanor," he said.
In a separate interview with The Telegram, Baca said the family was honored.
"It's just great. It's something we're so proud of. My grandpa was definitely the patriarch of our family. We're grateful the school is named after him," he said.
The school, which housed 1,800 students when the high school called it home, now houses about 700 middle school students. Springston has said educators are able to use the building with no wasted space.
The middle school population moved over from the former Abe Hubert Middle School, which is now an elementary school. HGMS now houses that population plus about 100 more students.
The approximate 100-student increase this year is due in part to the change in boundaries that determined whether a middle school student would attend Horace Good or Kenneth Henderson middle school.
The new boundary extends from the west side of Garden City to Center Street, where it once stopped at Third Street. Because of this, and the subsequent gain in students, there are also more teachers at Horace Good — approximately 60 — including administration and the counseling staff.

"I would recommend Natural Area Rugs to anyone and certainly buy from them the next time I am in the market for a rug. Excellent on every level!"

"I love that I could order a custom rug at a reasonable price. My rug arrived quickly and was a perfect fit since I could make it exactly the size I wanted it to be. The quality of the rug was great and it has a wonderful backing on it to prevent it from slipping around on the floor. I will be back, Natural Area Rugs!"
H. Tate-Kemp Roswell, GA, Jul. 2014

The Southeastern Conference conducted its annual player draft Wednesday in advance of winning its eighth straight national title next season.
There's nothing like national SEC signing day, with other conferences participating the way the Washington Generals participate against the Globetrotters.
OK, that's an incredible, attention-grabbing, inflammatory, hyperbolic reach.
This reign of terror won't go on forever … will it?
