2011 Draft: Cape Cod League StandoutsBy
If there's one thing we've learned about scouting director Damon Oppenheimer in his six years running the Yankees' drafts, it's that he loves players who standout in the Cape Cod League. The Cape is the most prestigious amateur summer league around, pitting top college players against each other with wood bats. It's traditionally been a very pitcher-friendly league, and last year was no different: batters hit just .233/.315/.310 overall, and pitchers posted a 3.05 ERA with 7.78 K/9 in the 44-game season.
Prospects like Rob Segedin, Tommy Kahnle, Adam Warren, David Adams, Dan Brewer, D.J. Mitchell, and Andrew Brackman went from the Cape to the Yankees' system in short order, and I'm certain a few more will join them this winter. Here's a few guys that stood out in the league last summer…
Andy Burns, 3B, Arizona
"Standout" probably isn't the best way to describe Burns after he hit just .211/.306/.283 in 152 plate appearances with the Brewster Whitecaps, though his impressive tools allowed him to lead the league with 25 stolen bases (just four caught stealings). Burns offers a well-built 6-foot-2, 190 lb. frame that produces good power from the right side. His speed is above-average and his defense at the hot corner is strong, whether it's catching or throwing. You can dream a little on Burns, who has a sound approach but an annoying tendency to swing-and-miss.
Burns made the odd decision to transfer from Kentucky, where he hit .278/.358/.496 with 18 homers in two years, to Arizona for his junior season. The always player-friendly NCAA rules force him to sit out this season, so his stock can only go down this summer. There's a chance Burns will be undervalued on draft day, and he could be a great late-round flier. Baseball America ranked him as the 74th best college prospect for the draft, which means he's projected to go somewhere between the fourth and sixth round right now.
Ryan Carpenter, LHP, Gonzaga
Big left-handers are easy to love, and Carpenter certainly qualifies. The 6-foot-5, 225 lb. southpaw struck out 39 and walked ten in seven starts (38.2 IP, 2.56 ERA) with the Orleans Firebirds last summer. You'd expect Carpenter to offer huge stuff with that frame, but he's not some big-time flamethrower. His fastball sits in the low-90′s and will occasionally touch 95, and his second best offering is a low-80′s changeup. He's working on a curveball and refining his command, so he's far from a finished product.
The Yankees do a fine job of teaching curveballs, and it's always possible that a professional training program will add some juice to his fastball. There's definite upside here. Keith Law ranked him as the 31st best draft prospect while Baseball America had him just 41st out of all college players. Law's clearly high on him. Carpenter could go anywhere from the middle of the first through third round, and could be in play when the Yankees' first pick comes up, 51st overall.
Grayson Garvin, LHP, Vanderbilt
Another monstrous lefty like Carpenter, Garvin is listed at 6-foot-6, 220 lbs. and was named Cape Cod League Pitcher of the Year after taking home the league's ERA crown (0.74). In 36.2 innings (six starts) with the Bourn Braves, Garvin struck out 38 and walked 12, allowing just 18 hits. Again like Carpenter, he's more results that raw stuff, sitting at 88-91 with the heat and backing it up with a slurve that's neither slider nor curve at the moment. Garvin is also working on a cutter and changeup, and as always, command.
Garvin would be another fine curveball-teaching project, but his upside isn't as apparent as Carpenter's. It's definitely there though. Baseball America ranked Garvin as the 48th best college player available this summer, so they project him to be a third or fourth rounder at the moment.
Kevin Medrano, 2B, Missouri State
One of just four players that managed to crack a .300 batting average on the Cape last summer, Medrano hit .321/.380/.423 with nine doubles in 150 plate appearances for the Falmouth Commodores. He's an undersized (6-foot-1, 160 lb.) middle infielder that makes a ton of contact and offers plenty of speed. There are doubts that he'll ever hit for much power, especially against advanced pitched, and he's limited to second base because he doesn't have the arm for short or third. He's a fine defender with plenty of range.
As cliche as it sounds, Medrano has some David Eckstein in him, though he's a lefty hitter with better defensive tools, and he's likely to steal more bases. There isn't a ton of upside here, but quality middle infielders are getting harder to come by these days. Baseball America had Medrano 50th among college prospects, which means he's a third or fourth rounder right now.
Joe Panik, SS, St. John's
A local kid from Yonkers, Panik hit .276/.386/.372 with more walks (20) than strikeouts (12) in 171 plate appearances for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox last summer. He's a .355/.460/.572 career hitter with the Red Storm, again with far more walks (67) than strikeouts (33). His lefty swing is geared for hard contact and produces gap-to-gap power, and his military-style plate discipline makes him a strong on-base threat. Defensively, Panik is built for shortstop (6-foot-1, 195 lbs.) with quick feet, soft hands, and a strong arm. There aren't many that doubt his ability to remain there for the next decade or so. It's worth noting that he took home the Cape sportsmanship award.
Players that project to remain at shortstop with this kind of offensive ability are hot commodities, so much so that they tend to be overvalued on draft day. Baseball America ranked Panik as the 38th best college prospect in the class, but I could see him going anywhere before the third round. Both the Diamondbacks and Brewers own two of the first 15 picks, and I wouldn't be surprised to see either grab him early in an effort to cut costs while still landing a quality player.
* * *
Those are just a few standouts from last summer, but I could probably do two or three of these posts. I love me some Carpenter and Panik, and Burns as a buy-low candidate is definitely intriguing. Medrano's interesting after the fourth round, and Garvin could shoot up draft boards if he figures out a breaking ball and adds about two miles to his heater, something that's very possible this spring.

I like Oppenheimer's strategy; the Cape Cod league features a very high level of competition. Panik sounds like a really exciting talent. I would love to see the Yankees pick up a guy like that in the draft this year.
Panik would be a nice pick up for the Yankees. He may not have enough power during pro ball, but having that patience is a rarity and skill that will always be valued.
what about the Alaska Baseball League? The Cape Cod League always seems to steal the lime light. I didn't know that Jason Giambi played in the ABL years ago.
Its the East Coast Bias(TM)
Played against Panik in HS, the kid can mash.
Let me be the first to say it: Would drafting him be considered a 'Panik' move?
I work in the Coastal Plain League…any player(s) interest you from last season?
please please please go after joe panik
sterling's home run call: you've been panik stricken!!!
Baltz from St. John's too. He's not eligible to be drafted until 2012, but the former Yankee pick is a HUGE prospects, will probably be one of if not the top collegiate hitter in the 2012 draft.

Police charge Manchester man as armed career criminal after finding stolen gun, drugs
Robert Doane, 26, of 151 Sagamore St., became the subject of a drug investigation after police learned he was selling heroin out of his residence, according to a news release.
Detectives set up surveillance of his home on Jan. 29, but Doane spotted them and, suspicious of their unmarked police car, refused to complete a heroin deal with two men outside his home.
A week later, state Probation and Parole officer, together with police, conducted a check on Doane at his Sagamore Street address. Doane was not home but police said they recovered a small quantity of drugs along with a gun that had been reported stolen Jan. 7 from a car parked in the lot at Target in Hooksett.
Doane was picked up that same day on a parole violation and returned to the New Hampshire State Prison.
On Wednesday, police charged him with receiving stolen property; convicted felon in possession of a firearm; attempted sale of a narcotic; possession of a narcotic; and being an armed career criminal.
Doane has a fairly long criminal record dating back to 2004, according to Jeffrey Lyons, spokesman for the state Department of Corrections.
He has convictions for robberies, burglaries, thefts, falsifying physical evidence, criminal mischief and shoplifting.
What's next: He is expected to be arraigned Thursday in 9th Circuit Court, Manchester District Division.

Ada —
The fate of this year's Pat Taylor Memorial Parade of Lights is still up in the air.
The parade was originally scheduled for Thursday evening, but it was canceled due to the threat of severe weather and dangerous driving conditions. Main Street officials have not yet decided whether to reschedule the parade.
"So that we can get a more accurate picture of how the current ice and snow will wear, and to see if anything else comes in over the weekend, we will be assessing the situation on Monday," program manager Amy Kaiser said in an email to The Ada News. "We know that the parade is an important event and will be trying our best to find a new date, but the safety of all involved is the most important factor."
She said Main Street officials will announce their decision as soon as possible.

Club respect
Detroit's oldest blues bar once entertained Motown greats, and it's still a well-kept secret
Published: October 20, 2010
The first thing you notice here are the colorful suits. Nearly everyone has one on. Because when you come to the Raven Lounge and Restaurant to hear the blues, you come looking good.
"People dress up at the Raven," says Tommy Stephens, the bar's owner. He always refers to his place reverentially, by its name. "They come in with suits on and ties on. You're very seldom gonna see an extremely casual person in the Raven."
And what suits they are. Like the purple-and-white plaid three-piece worn by the man lounging at a table. The lavender one on the sharp-looking cat leaning against the bar. And the brown one draped on the man who chose to pair it this evening with a bowler hat.
It's Saturday night at this little east side lounge on the corner of Chene and Farnsworth. The band on stage plays midtempo Motown and blues at a muted volume that fills but doesn't overwhelm the small room. The audience, dressed in their peacocking finery, watches intently.
This is not background music. It's the kind that makes people stop talking when it begins.
The Raven bills itself as Detroit's oldest blues bar. It's also one of the city's last live blues venues. And it's one of the only bars left on a strip that was lined with them years ago. That means on most nights, some band plays some great music to a half-empty room on a mostly deserted street.
After half a century, the Raven remains obscure. There are no ads in newspapers for it. Local entertainment guides don't list it, and most who come here heard about it from someone else. It's the kind of place that would have a line outside the door if it were anywhere but inner city Detroit.
Instead, on this night, there are about 10 people who have this place — its music, its atmosphere, its history — all to themselves.
"People become a little jealous of the Raven," the 64-year-old Stephens says, explaining the thin crowd at a bar where Motown legends used to drop in to play for free. "They say, 'I don't want to invite my friends in here; I just want this place to be just for me and my boyfriend.' That's one of the reasons that we've been like a well-kept secret. It's been almost like a family affair."
The Raven opened in the 1950s, when its white owners would hire black musicians to play to white crowds but wouldn't allow black patrons inside. By the '60s, they saw the faces in the neighborhood changing and sold it to Sam and Myrtle Watts, a black couple who, first thing, let anyone inside who wanted to be there.
For years this was Stephens' hangout. Born in Florida, he came to Detroit after college in Ohio, looking to work with troubled students.
"I wanted to teach wayward kids and I asked to be placed in a very difficult school," he says. They gave him a job in special ed, teaching those who'd shifted there for behavioral issues. "I found out that many of these youngsters were not really retarded," he says. "There's a difference between being three grades behind and being innately impaired. And many of them, they had assaulted a teacher or been in fights, so they were railroaded into special education. I saw it my job to get them out of there."
His fellow teachers, who gathered at the Raven every day after work to unwind with some of the best jazz and blues in town, turned him on to the place. "Ninety-five percent of all of my alcohol in Detroit was drank in here," he says. Then Sam Watts died in 1992, and his widow offered Stephens first dibs on buying the place. He jumped at the chance to keep his favorite bar alive. Her one condition — don't change anything.
He didn't. The music's the same kind it's always been. The recipes for the food they serve, from the chicken wings and catfish sandwiches to chitterlings and T-bones, are the same ones they used in the 1950s.
The decor is still old-style too. The walls are lined with black-and-white photos of jazz and blues icons like Billie Holiday, B.B. King and Johnny Taylor. Banners around the room exclaim "Happy Birthday!" like a permanent party for everyone in attendance regardless of the date. There's a long bar and a floor full of tables, and every seat has a good view of the stage.
Cover is $5. The doorman will escort you inside to a table. If it's raining they walk you to your car and hold an umbrella over you. It's old-time and gentle-mannered, because Stephens is determined to keep it a sanctuary from the blighted neighborhood outside.
"We keep the riff-raffs out the door," Stephens says. "We have a motto in here saying, 'Don't invite somebody in here unless you want them in your living room.'"
He knows a place like this can't draw customers if they don't feel safe. So when he took over, he approached the drug dealers and prostitutes who roam Chene Street at night, and told them the zone between Frederick and Theodore, which stretches a block to either side of his bar, is off limits.
Don't work that strip, he warned them.
"That's the Raven's territory," he says. "We control this area."
The man in the sunglasses wandered in with nothing but a trombone in his hands.
Toney High came to Detroit a month ago to see the Detroit International Jazz Festival and try to find a steady gig. He has lived in Texas, Brooklyn, most recently in Saginaw. He started playing trombone in seventh grade, got his first live gigs at 15. He's so in love with playing music he hopped in his car and drove to Detroit with nothing but his horn and blind hope.
"My mother always told me, she fusses at me now — 'Why do you wanna go there? You don't have no money to get back. You barely got enough money to get there,'" the 49-year-old says.
For now he's sleeping in his car, "until I'm able to find a room here or something. But my car is not the best. It's about falling apart." He spent most days after he got here practicing or performing on street corners, waiting for something to turn up. Meantime, someone told him about the Raven.

Americans will gather to remember Memorial Day May 30 to honor those who have died serving our country.
For Daniel Bruno, military service had a dual purpose: honoring not only his homeland but his late father.
Bruno, post commander of the Elmhurst American Legion T.H.B. Post #187 in Elmhurst, was as an infantry squad leader with the rank of Sergeant E5. Unlike many who saw combat during the Vietnam War, Bruno went to democratic West Germany from 1966 to 1968.
As a student at Wright Junior College in Chicago in the mid-1960s, Bruno recalled how he was against the Vietnam War.
"It was quite popular to oppose the war because the war was not an act of Congress. The war was by presidential order," he said. "It was called the Bay of Tonkin resolution. Though some students were more anti-war than I was, I felt that it was not a legal war because the U.S. Congress did not vote on it."
While Bruno had his opinions, his father, Lawrence, a World War II veteran, provided a different point of view. Lawrence was a combat engineer who served under General George S. Patton for five years. As an engineer, he earned the rank of Technical Grade 5 Sergeant.
"He and I spent many nights on the back porch arguing in favor or against the war," Bruno said. "My father won the arguments. He had encouraged me to serve in the military."
Lawrence also asked his son to serve his country on his behalf.
"In honoring my father, I went and did my service to my country in his honor, because that's what he wanted me to do," Bruno said. "My father wanted me to do my very best and to not be a slacker or slough it off. I had promised my father that not only would I do my best, but that I would get a higher rank than he did when he came out of the service. We laughed about this, and he said, 'You really have to do a lot of work.' My father was in service during the war for a longer time than I was."
When Daniel Bruno attended college, there was a draft and he had a student deferment. He was drafted in May 1966, after he graduated in 1965.
"When you're called to active service, you had no choice as to whether you would be in the Army, Navy or the Marine Corps at that time," he said. "Luckily for me, the day I was drafted, they put me in the Army. I very well could have gone into the Marine Corps. If I was drafted into the Marine Corps, the only duty station that would have been (available to) me was Vietnam. By being drafted into the Army, this gave me the opportunity to serve my country in other areas than Vietnam."
Bruno's assignment was to become an infantry soldier and study anti-tank warfare in California. The Defense Department, he explained, needed people like Bruno to help West Germany. The situation between the former republics was described as a "tank war."
"Because of our agreement to support West Germany, 500,000 troops were put in that part of Germany," he said. "The mission was to defend West Germany against the Russians, who were in East Germany, and they had a lot of heavy tanks and artillery that were in place."
West Germany was created in 1949 when the United States, England and France consolidated areas they had occupied at the end of World War II. East Germany, formerly known as the German Democratic Republic and also created in 1949, was controlled by the Soviet Union. With the destruction of Berlin Wall in 1989, the two republics were unified as a country in 1990.
Arriving in West Germany, was a "shocking" experience for the new Army recruit. He was stationed in Gillenhausen, protecting a valley called Folda Gap.
"When we came to Germany, I thought I was in Wisconsin," he said. "The terrain and the country's climate were similar to being in Wisconsin. Post World War II reconstruction had already taken place, so there weren't any bombed-out areas. It was either metropolitan or agricultural type areas."
He said the people were very friendly and polite. They knew of the Americans' mission and also wanted them to respect their heritage.
"Part of the German culture is that the citizens are very industrial and scientific," he said. "Some of the people were inventors and engineers. These people were well-educated. You learned to respect them."
Bruno's tour of duty ended in May of 1968 and he returned to Chicago. He had fulfilled his time for training and active duty.
"It was always in my mind that I didn't do enough," he said. "The war in Vietnam was more important at that time than us being in West Germany. The service of our country was fine, but was I really doing enough?"
Looking back at his military experience, he credits the Americans for helping Germany become what it is today.
"Shortly after the Berlin Wall fell, there was a lessening of Americans in duty there while Germany became more and more powerful," he said. "All of that wouldn't have happened if we didn't have troops in West Germany so that we could help them establish a democracy. Before that, Germany was either in a socialist situation or a nobility. We helped them make a transition into a modern Germany."
From the 1970s to the 1990s, Bruno worked in various positions for companies such as AT&T Teletype, International Harvester and Kraft Foods.
He believes that keeping history alive will educate new generations. Through an American Legion program, veterans volunteer to share their stories with elementary students.
"Those children have an experience that's almost unbelievable because they have a chance to meet live history," he said. "If we don't have programs like that, or you telling the story to future generations, they wouldn't know.
"A lot of times, people today go into service, they're volunteering to go and it's a job for them. For me, it wasn't a job; it was a case of honor. We went out and did what we could for the country because the country called us to serve."

St. Louis No. 1 was established in 1789 and is the oldest cemetery in New Orleans. It was once much larger than it is now. It's located on the edge of the French Quarter and contains the family tombs of many old Creole French families as well as multi-story tombs of historic immigrant societies.
Among the historic and famous people of New Orleans buried here are Governor Claiborne's family, the first mayor of New Orleans during French colonial days, the first black mayor of New Orleans, and allegedly Marie Laveau, the legendary voo-doo queen of New Orleans.
It's a wonderful place to visit and is an extremely important historic site in New Orleans. Unfortunately many of the old tombs are in need of repair and upkeep.
St. Louis No. 1 is a Catholic cemetery and still run by the Archdioese, but it has a Protestant section. Many don't realize it's still an operating cemetery with new burials.
There is some concern of safety in the cemetery especially when there are few crowds there. Taking a tour or going when all the tours are there, is the safest practice. This is one of those places every New Orleanian should take their children.
Find out more about St. Louis No. 1 at this University of Pennsylvania site, believe it or not.
Its Graduate Program in Historic Preservation has done St. Louis No. 1 research and restoration work. It's includes a nice map and birds-eye view photo of the cemetery.

Hard to believe, but nicely coiffed pop punks All Time Low have been targeted by an anti-gay organization called the Westboro Baptist Church.
The church, which operates a hateful website that isn't worth publishing the name of, posted a diatribe against the band following a story at the Alternative Press website:
"'All Time Low frontman suffers concussion' so says the bloggers and Alternative Press reporter. You may be wondering what in the world WBC cares about these losers – so let me break it down for you. How do you know how far gone a society is? You look at their social icons. When you look at these gender-confused, haphazard freakazoids then you can plainly see that america is DOOMED, for real! This is the final generation, and a little concussion is the least of their worries. Here is what they have to look forward to when this once great nation finally falls – for her fall is already started."
Yikes. The WBC then attacked frontman Alex Gaskarth's Twitter page, writing "God Hates Fag Enablers! WBC will picket All Time Low's concert in Philly."
All of this coming from a church. Since when did gay-bashing become more important than spreading the word of God?

You have been madly in love with someone and suddenly things seem to have changed – they call less, are cagey about what they are up to and generally seem to have gone off the boil.
If you have been together for a while, it may well be that other things like work issues are on their mind.
However, human instinct often warns us when things are about to happen, so here are a few tips for pre-empting that dumping speech from your partner – and bracing yourself for the worst.
- Remember, just because someone goes quiet or seems distracted when with you, it does not mean they are going to dump you – ask them if they are okay or need to talk about something.
- It is terrible when you are with someone you like and feel as though they have lost interest – if you cannot get a straight answer from them, try taking a little break from them yourself to give you time to consider how you feel and how you would feel if things ended.
- It may be tempting to stalk them to find out if they are seeing anyone else – asking them outright might take courage but quite often asking the question straight means you get the answer. If they are genuinely surprised, they probably are not and will reassure you – but if there is any mock surprise, then follow your instincts and question further.
- Seizing the initiative can sometimes get the relationship back on track – asking someone outright if they want to split up can bring the truth home to them and although they might answer yes, bringing up the subject yourself does open up the possibility of discussion which could resolve any underlying issues they may have about the relationship.
- If your other half has been behaving oddly, don't assume they are seeing someone else or up to no good, as they might be preoccupied with work or even planning a surprise for you – is your birthday, Valentine's Day or Christmas looming? Wait and see before you jump in with an accusation.
- If your other half goes silent on you, won't respond to messages or is monosyllabic when you speak, try asking a mutual friend if they are okay, as you are worried about them – quite often friends who know the truth will try and cover, but do not do this very well if there is something going on you should know about.
If you really feel you are about to be dumped, decide whether you want to be put out of your misery or would rather let things lie and see what happens.
Taking a short break to gather your thoughts and plan a course of action if the worst happens can help you face up to what might seem the inevitable – but if a partner is having such trouble dumping you that they are hoping you just get the message, it suggests that might not really know what they want either, so try and keep it friendly, whatever happens – by leaving the door open, they just might get themselves back on track and back in your arms.
When a relationship breaks down and tensions are running high, domestic abuse and violence may take place. There is legal help for when this occurs.

Atomically replace folder with symlink (for Wine)

I'm trying to add support for Windows Junction Points into Wine and I've been unable to figure out a way to atomically replace a folder with a symlink. However, it seems that it's possible to atomically replace a folder with a folder. Is there a way to do this that I'm just not aware of? If not then would it be possible that if I put together a patch to add this feature that it would be considered for inclusion?

Genres: Dr
Starring: Ian McNeice, John Cassady, Bish Nethercote, Sarah Martin, David Pearce, Stuart Hutton, Eira Moore
Director(s): Christopher Monger
Country: UK
Year: 1983
Available Quality: DivX, iPod
IMDB Rating: 6 out of 10 (16 votes)
Does the fact that a film is about a misogynist make it a misogynistic film? Thats the question that plagued Voice Over director, Christopher Monger, on the films initial release and which helped hasten its relegation to relative obscurity.Ian McNeice stars as Fats Bannerman, the writer of a radio drama for women set in the 19th Century which has attracted a loyal following, much to everyones amusement.When hes faced with some home truths about his show by a local journalist, before being taunted by two women whom he meets in a bar, Fats career starts to take a new direction. Then he stumbles upon one of the women in an alley, bloodied and bruised, and things go into freefall.Shot on a miniscule budget in less than a month, Voice Over is a rough and ready piece of filmmaking with a terrific central performance from McNeice as a man with a seemingly violent past.

Like many people, I became addicted to HBO's television series Game of Thrones, named after the first book of George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. After I finished the first season I started reading the books. Normally, I advocate reading the book before watching its film adaptation; however, I found that having seen the TV show was extremely helpful in allowing me to keep track of who was who throughout the 700 or so pages of plotting, political intrigue and outright murder that make up the first book.
A Clash of Kings is even more brutal and bleak than its predecessor. George R. R. Martin does not shy away from the ugliness of war, and he isn't afraid to kill off main characters or innocent bystanders. His characters also grow and develop throughout the course of the book. Old friends become enemies, while a former enemy proves to be an unlikely champion and savior to a girl in need. Dragons have returned to the world, and magic along with them. In the Seven Kingdoms, five different men declare themselves to be kings and begin to fight against one another on several different fronts. Meanwhile, Mance Rayder (the King Beyond the Wall) is gathering the Free Folk (more commonly known as the Wildlings), and preparing an attack on the Night's Watchmen, who are sworn to protect Westeros from the dangers lurking in the far north.
The standout character in both the novel and the TV show is Tyrion Lanister. Peter Dinklage won an Emmy for his work in that role, and watching him it is easy to see why. Even though Tyrion is a member of one of the most powerful families in the Seven Kingdoms, he is scorned and mistrusted because he is a dwarf. He compensates for his lack of height by fine-tuning his wits, which he needs when he is (temporarily) named to the role of Hand of the King, the most powerful man in the Seven Kingdoms aside from his nephew, King Joffrey. Tyrion must work to protect the capitol, while fighting to control Joffrey's violent outbursts and the machinations of Queen Cersei (who is Joffrey's mother and Tyrion's older sister).
A Clash of Kings provides a jaw-dropping follow-up to A Game of Thrones, and leaves the reader eager for the next book.

Washington Gas Light Company
Washington Gas Light Company Reviews
100% of the CEO
Terry D. McCallister
"Its an okay place to work"
Pros – Hours can be flexible, ability to telecommute, you can advance your career if you prove yourself. Most people are generally nice. Downtown office is very nice and is easily accessible by public transportation.
Cons – Lots of politics and restructuring occurs in several departments. It can be difficult to plan a long term career with the constant departmental change. Leadership is not very well liked by the masses. Several leadership decisions have had a very negative impact on employee morale over the past 5 years. There is a lot of turnover in finance.
Advice to Senior Management – Consider the impact of leadership decisions on the masses. Create career opportunities for all employees, not just a chosen few.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
"My eMy"
Pros – Awesome manager, fair practices, and downtown near all of the government actions. Great atmosphere and work life balance
Cons – They did not fully utilize my educational background and their salary is not competitive at all with the overall market with a graduate degree as well as the cost of living.
"Not too much work for interns, but great environment"
Pros – You do learn a lot through shadowing
team oriented
Great HR
Cons – its pretty slow
nothing to keep you busy
Advice to Senior Management – prepare work for interns prior to them coming
"Good company but stale mentality"
Pros – I enjoyed my experience with Washington Gas
Cons – There tends to be a very static environment that resists change
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"great people to work with"
Pros – solid management, active in community
Cons – overall good company to work for
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
Pros – good benefits stable OVERALL organization
Cons – if you don't belong to the proper clique you are ALWAYS an outsider..CONSTANT "re-engineering" constant PURPOSEFUL instability.
Advice to Senior Management – let your people work.
"They replaced a majority their employees with contractors."
Pros – The benefits were great for management employees.
Cons – The pay was low because the benefits were good.
Advice to Senior Management – What management? They outsourced American jobs to foreign countries/
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"Job advancements"
Pros – The benifits packages are still structured extremely well and are indicative to current standards. Medical and dental are above average for area and include other insurance options. The utilities market is a very stable environment at current times for vocational workers.
Cons – The IT and upper management positions leave very little room if any fro advancement. The corporate structure reorganizes about every three to four years. This will include outsourcing with elimination of certain job titles without much notification. The chance for job training or improvement is extremely limited, leaving very little room for growth.
Advice to Senior Management – A more progressive mentoring structure and feed back from employees that can be included in the new corprate environment would be appreciated. The need for retaining middle aged employees and advancing them over older retirement aged employees would lead to long term success as a business model and would further usless need to retrain and reorganize every few years.

Police collect unpaid fines
10:00am Sunday 23rd December 2012 in News By Hannah White
POLICE collected more than £28,000 in unpaid court fines during a day of action last week. Officers joined forces with Wiltshire Magistrates Court warrant officers on Tuesday to collect the unpaid fines as part of a new operation.
PC Kevin Harmsworth, from headquarters response team, said: "This operation lets offenders know that they will be located and held accountable for their actions. These people have been convicted of an offence at court but have failed to pay outstanding court fines or costs.
"The effect of having a police officer arrive with a court warrant officer drives home the message that arrest is a very real outcome for non-payment. This operation was a huge success with more than £28,000 collected and four people arrested.
"These fines can be anything from £35 to £10,000 so it is important that this money is collected."
The operation will take place again in the new year.

BREAKING NEWS: Court: 'Crack tax' unconstitutional
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Supreme Court ruled Friday that a state law that taxes illegal drugs is unconstitutional.
The court found in 3-2 decision that the law, sometimes called the "crack tax," exceeds the state's taxing power because it isn't a tax on "merchants, peddlers and privileges."
But the court also ruled that the law didn't violate constitutional protections against self-incrimination, leaving open the possibility that the General Assembly could develop a new tax on drugs that would be constitutional.
The ruling differed from some of the reasoning of lower courts that struck down the tax because of the self-incrimination issue and because it seeks to generate revenue from illegal activity.
Justice Gary Wade acknowledged in the court's opinion the "enormous burden" using, possessing and selling illegal drugs places on Tennessee.
"... Our legislature is worthy of commendation for its effort to defray the costs incident to the struggle against illegal drugs," Wade wrote.
"Even under these circumstances, however, it is our duty to dispassionately apply the rule of law in a fair and impartial manner, unswayed by genuine public concerns, partisan interests, or fear of criticism."
The case stemmed from 2005 arrest of Loudon County carpenter Steven Waters. Waters, a first-time offender who was then 51, was arrested for possession of 1,000 grams of cocaine he bought for $12,000 in a reverse sting undercover investigation run by the Knox County Sheriff's Office.
Eleven days after his arrest, he received a tax bill of more than $50,000, plus late fees, for failing to voluntarily buy an excise stamp for his narcotics. The state filed a lien on his Lenoir City home and confiscated $4,000 from his bank account before his criminal case went to trial.
Waters eventually pleaded guilty to felony possession and was sentenced to a fine and probation, according to court records.
Chief Justice Janice Holder and Justice William M. Barker concurred with Wade's opinion. Justices William C. Koch Jr. and Cornelia A. Clark dissented in part saying they thought the tax could be applied to drug dealers.

"Somebody asked me one time what to expect at one of my shows. I told them 3 chords and the truth." ~ Matt Hoggatt
Army soldier, police detective and bourbon street performer are just a few of the job titles on Matt Hoggatt's resume. Among them is a list accolades as varied as his choice of former professions, including national songwriting awards, viral YouTube videos, and being the subject of a Jimmy Buffett song. Signed to Jimmy Buffett's record label, Mailboat Records, Matt's version of storytelling music combines Americana-country, comedy and trop-rock-folk in a place where three chords and the truth prevail. From the Gulf Coast town of Gautier, Mississippi, Matt has been touring the country in support of his debut album "Hotter Than Fishgrease" and is set to release a new album in 2014, produced by legendary songwriter Keith Sykes.

Quote:Thanks Guys. I am wondering how this cam is more sensitive than the Flea3? I can shoot much higher frame rates and it also creates much larger video files in the same amount of time. Another thing that surprised me is I don't need any spacers at all to get Jupiter to fill up the chip? On the flea3 I have to put a lot of spacers on it to get Jupiter large enough on the chip. Great little cam.
Quote:David, since Sam asked me to help "launch" this camera outside of China back in September 2012 I am still finding myself "gob-smacked" at times with its' performance.....at the time Sam sent me some images from a couple of Chinese AA'ers (himself & ZZ included if I recall correctly) and he thought then that it would out-perform the DMK618 camera, backing it up with some pretty strong evidence.....I was reticent to "go the whole hog" and employ it in preference to my Flea3 because, as everyone knows, that camera has an extremely good reputation and I'd been using it very successfully for over 2 years...To cut a long story short I have no hesitation now in stating from an empirical perspective that it is the better camera of the 2.....no problems with others disagreeing on this point but what I pulled last night at well under 30 degrees elevation only enhanced that personal appraisal..! You've created a fine image here and I'm sure you'd agree that it should only get better with further useage!!! As to the smaller pixel size in the sensor I find operating at considerably lower f/l's produces a really "sweet spot" but I now have a fully-fledged variable amplification fitting (home-designed naturally! ) that accomodates a whole range of image scales.This morning the ASI120MM demonstrated its advantages with 50fps captures in all channels where the Flea could only approach said in the red, with blue being almost half that rate! Image scale at that comparison is smaller despite the smaller pixels - but I'm finding this scale to be in a really "sweet spot" for my C14 and as yet I'm not being handicapped by the image sizes...they are taking upsampling better than the (larger) Flea3 images would, which suggests to me it really is a winner on all fronts! Will post my own results from last night/this morning when I get home tomorrw from my local dark sky site - and hope to see more fine images from you and others with this cam soon..!
Quote:I'm curious as to the availability of this camera in the US? thanks, -Tim

Product Launch by Michael Oryl on Wednesday January 05, 2011.
ces 2011 · lg optimus black · new products · lg news · android news · smartphone news · michael oryl
|Sponsored links, if any, appear in green.
Today at the International CES 2011 event in Las Vegas, LG launched its latest Android 2.2 powered smartphone, the LG Optimus Black, which LG is touting as the world's slimmest mobile device at 9.2mm in thickness with an edge that tapers down to 6mm. In addition to being thin, though, the Optimus Black is weighs very little: 109g.
The Black features a new type of 4-inch capacitive touchscreen display that LG calls NOVA. LG says that the NOVA display is much clearer and brighter than traditional displays and is capable of 700 nits of brightness. LG states that the display will offer both brighter whites and deeper blacks, and still consumes 50 percent less power than conventional LCD touchscreens.
The Optimus Black comes equipped with a large 1500mAh battery, and is believed to offer 8GB of built-in storage space for applications and data while offering users the option of adding a microSD memory card for up to an additional 32GB of storage headroom. Dual cameras, including a 2 megapixel forward facing camera, let users capture photos as well as participate in video chats.
LG says that the Optimus Black will be capable of running an Android 2.3 Gingerbread upgrade in the future and that the phone will rolled out globally during the first half of 2011.

Zack O'Malley Greenburg, Forbes Staff
The Beat Report: I cover the business of music & entertainment.
Yesterday marked the launch of the Forbes 400, our annual list of America's richest citizens. Headed by Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Larry Ellison, the group doesn't include any hip-hop artists–yet.
There are five artists on our watch list: Sean "Diddy" Combs (featured in this year's issue), Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter (who appeared on the cover of last year's, alongside Warren Buffett), Andre "Dr. Dre" Young, Bryan "Birdman" Williams, and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson. All five already boast nine-figure fortunes, and in honor of the Forbes 400, we've updated our estimates. The big question: who will be the first to a billion?
"I think Young Money Cash Money would be the first billion-dollar brand in hip-hop," said Birdman in an email message, referring to his record label. "We strong and growing every day as a brand and fast. Within the next few years we will be billionaires."
To be sure, there are differing opinions on the matter. By FORBES's latest count, Diddy is currently the closest, with an estimated net worth of $500 million. He's taken to calling himself "Ciroc Obama," and with good reason: his vodka deal with beverage giant Diageo could soon land him in some very exclusive company.
Diddy receives an annual cut of profits and a big chunk of cash if Ciroc is ever sold. With the spirit's value speeding toward $1 billion—on top of stakes in clothing lines Sean John and Enyce, marketing firm Blue Flame and record label Bad Boy—Diddy may beat buddy Jay-Z to the Forbes 400.
Jay-Z, however, is close behind with an estimated fortune of $450 million. Beyoncé's husband sold his Rocawear clothing label for $204 million in 2007 and signed 10-year $150 million Live Nation deal in 2008.
He still holds stakes in a wide range of businesses including the soon-t0-be Brooklyn Nets, the 40/40 Club chain, ad firm Translation, cosmetics company Carol's Daughter and other ventures. His lyrical boasts ("I'm like really half a billie") appear accurate, at least if you round up.
Perhaps more than any other hip-hop artist, Dr. Dre's financial star has been on the rise this year. The bulk of his $250 million fortune comes from Beats Electronics, the headphone maker Dr. Dre founded with Interscope chief Jimmy Iovine in 2008.
I think the smart money is on Puff Daddy. He lives eats and breathes business and I think he has his hands in quite a bit of stuff already with some pretty successful lables. He's got the BadBoy music and i think he could get more active in movies if he wanted to. Unless something crazy happens, Puffy is going to be the first hip hop billionaire.
Interesting piece – thanks! It's a shame that Chamillionaire is not likely to have to confront the question of whether to change his name to Chabillionaire, which would have been perfect.
Also interesting that of the five possibles here, only the smallest cash pile comes from recording or management – Dre and Jay-Z made the lion's share of their piles by building up and selling businesses only conceptually related to their musical output, while Diddy and Fiddy's fortunes are tied to shares received as part of endorsement deals. I'd be fascinated to see how revenues from recording sales break out – not least to see where the sweet spot of musical success and investment wisdom lies.
I was thinking of the headphones as a tech startup, basically, which is definitely showing my background assumptions.
It does seem like fashion and endorsements are where indie rock is really missing out on a lot of opportunities to make it rain. I'm sure there are armies of fans out there who'd love to dress or smell like Radiohead or Coldplay, just waiting for the clothing and fragrance lines. Or possibly not.
The article incorrectly references a recent Jay-Z lyric in the song "H.A.M." According to the article, Jay-Z is referring to himself and his worth when he raps, "i'm like really half a billie." This is misinterpreted, Jay-Z is actually saying, "I'm like, really? Half a billie?" – He is questioning Birdman's claim that he is worth $500,000,000 which Jay-Z (obviously) believes is not true. To be explicit the line goes:
"I'm like, really? Half a billie?
Ni**a really? You got Baby money
Keep it real with ni**as,
Ni**as ain't got my lady money"
Baby is Birdman's original moniker, this is yet another one of Jay-Z's clever double entendres. He's telling Birdman, "come on man, seriously? I don't believe you. You have baby money – small money." He finishes the bar reminding him that he doesn't even have as much money as his megastar wife, Beyonce. The proof of this can also be found in the beginning of this line; Jay-Z's inflections while rapping said verse denote his sarcasm and use of rhetorical questions.
Touche. Good point.
I know this article is old, But Ciroc will make Sean Combs the first Billionare… The introduction of Ciroc Peach is only the Begining…. They will make more flavor equaling more money.. I doubt they will sell the company based on how much its making right now..

The Clinton Herald
---- — DAVENPORT — Attorney Michael Walker was not negligent while he represented the city of Clinton in a 2010 False Claims Act case, a Des Moines lawyer who is president of the Iowa Bar Association testified Tuesday.
Guy Cook told members of the jury hearing the city's legal malpractice suit against Walker and his law firm Hopkins and Huebner that the defendants made the right moves in the underlying False Claims Act suit, including the move to settle for $4.5 million.
The city retained Walker and his firm in 2009 after a lawsuit from former Clinton firefighter and whistleblower Timothy Schultheis was unsealed. Schultheis alleged the city had submitted false claims to Medicare and Medicaid in order to receive higher reimbursement rates for ambulance runs.
That case was settled in 2010 for $4.5 million to be paid without interest over the course of 10 years. The city filed suit against Walker in his firm in 2012, claiming he failed to properly analyze the case and his negligence led to the city settling.
Among the assertions that have been made in the legal malpractice case is one that Walker should not have accepted the False Claims Act case because he, by his own admission, had never heard of the False Claims Act before he was retained by the city.
Cook testified Walker and his firm were qualified and had the requisite skills to handle the Schultheis case. He would have recommended Walker hire an expert and get acquainted with the statute, but would not have advised against Walker taking the case, Cook said.
In regard to Walker's decision not to file a motion to dismiss under either of two federal rules, Cook said such motions are strategically used and he felt Walker used his discretion not to file the motions for strategic reasons.
Further, Cook said, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa Senior Judge Charles Wolle, who the Schultheis case was assigned to, was "not a person prone to grant motions to dismiss."
"The motion would have been futile and a waste of client's resources," Cook said.
Walker also acted reasonably and had ample information to represent the city, Cook said. Although Cook testified he would not have handled the Schultheis case exactly as Walker did, not taking Schultheis' deposition is a move Walker made that Cook said he also might have made if handling the case.
Cook did not review the transcripts from closed meetings where Walker spoke to the Clinton City Council, but said reviewing those transcripts wasn't needed to form his opinion.
"(It's) important to me that he kept the client informed. It's not important to me what he told them," Cook said.
The move to pursue mediation in the Schultheis case also was reasonable and appropriate in order to avoid the risks of a trial, Cook said, calling the type of case the city faced dangerous due to the amount of damages the city could have incurred. Cook also testified the terms of the settlement, specifically the no-interest and decade for the city to pay, were "remarkable" and "favorable to the city."
Cook would testify in his cross-examination that he had not reviewed the actual settlement when forming his opinion that Walker followed the standard of care, but had been "made aware" of the terms.
Walker's attorney Bob Waterman's 20-minute direct examination Tuesday afternoon was followed by a more than two-hour and counting cross examination from the city's attorney, Mike Hannafan.
Hannafan spent an hour questioning Cook about an order this month from U.S. District Judge Linda Reade that found Cook, an attorney from Kansas City, Mo., and others had violated a federal rule that bars attorneys and anyone acting on their behalf from contacting jurors without court permission.
According to the Associated Press, Cook's firm spoke with three jurors a month after they convicted Sholom Rubashkin, former manager of an Iowa kosher salughterhouse of financial fraud. Cook was the lead defense attorney in that 2009 case.
Hannafan brought up the hearing held Sept. 23 in Cedar Rapids where Cook explained he thought Reade had approved the contact with jurors because she had lifted an admonition that barred jurors from speaking to others about the case. Reade called this explanation "disingenuous" and "bordering on the ridiculous."
Hannafan and Cook got into an exchange regarding Cook's answers to questions about the ruling, prompting Judge Nancy Tabor to interject.
"Can we just ask some questions, please?" Tabor said.
She had to direct both Hannafan and Cook to stop their back and forth about court procedures later in the testimony and subsequently asked Hannafan to "get to a question" as well.
Hannafan anticipated he would ask another 30 minutes to an hour of questions as Cook returned to the stand this morning. He is the defense's final witness.

Todd Bill Would Transfer School Buildings to New Districts
State Rep. Curry Todd, R-Collierville, filed a bill in Nashville on Tuesday that would transfer county school buildings to new municipal school districts for free, according to the Commercial Appeal.
The legislation, which has not yet started through the review process, calls for any indebtedness on the buildings transferred to the municipality to remain with the countywide system.
"That sounds like what we were asking for," Bartlett Mayor Keith McDonald said, acknowledging that he had heard about the bill but not read it.
The bill, House Bill 2954, was one of three regarding education filed by the Collierville House member Tuesday. One only stated that the state department of education would provide assistance to a transition planning commission.
The third bill, however, would open the door for combining individual municipal school districts. It states that if there is consolidation of another school system with the county school system "then two (2) or more cities in the county may create a joint city school system."
The three proposed bills appear in keeping with the wishes of outlying governments seeking to start their own school systems and comes amid the ongoing debate between the merged Memphis and Shelby County school systems and efforts by the six outlying suburbs to start their own school systems.
The buildings are a key factor in the potential cost for a new municipal school system. Bartlett, for example, has put an estimated value of $65 million on the 11 buildings within that city's boundaries -- a cost that, if the suburb was required to pay for the buildings, would significantly increase the expenses necessary to start a municipal school district.

Youngster's mum worried Bushey rabbit thieves could return
5:10pm Thursday 11th April 2013 in News By Kathryn Snowdon, Reporter
The mother of a Bushey six-year-old who had his beloved pet rabbits stolen over the Easter weekend said she is worried that the thieves could "strike again".
Generous offers have been flooding in from concerned residents after hearing that Joseph Brown, of Bournehall Avenue, had his two pets - Maisie and Daisy - stolen from his garden.
Thieves returned to steal the hutch a few days later.
Since hearing about the incident, the Watford Observer has been contacted by a number of caring and empathic residents who are eager to cheer the young boy's spirits and offer up their own pet rabbits.
However, the incident has affected the family, who are cautious about getting another rabbit in fear that the cruel thieves might come back.
Joseph's mother, Lisa Foster, 39, said: "It's just a worry that they could strike again. You can't help thinking that it could happen."
"We are really reluctant to get any now. To go through it all again would be horrible."
Miss Foster said she would love to get some more rabbits, but at this point she doesn't want to risk having any.
Miss Foster said she really appreciates people's kind offers and it makes her feel good that there are such caring people out there.

It has been a while since I have passed along any of the entries from last year's "commuter bike for the masses" design competition. I have been busy with other things, but I do still have quite a few of the entries to share. As a follow up to my last post, I will show you one more of the velomobile entries that we received…ecogo by Walter Graf.
Here is what Walter had to say about his design:
"ecogo is a concept recumbent bicycle designed to get commuters out of their cars and onto – or into – bikes. The recumbent features a reverse-tricycle design to keep it stable and take the balancing act out of riding a bike. With its laid-back seat and ergonomic pedalling position, the rider / driver can relax and take it easy while pedalling. The bike will stay upright even when going up hills slowly in the "granny gear."
The carbon fiber and formed plexiglass shell protects the rider / driver from the elements, just as a car would, so this can no longer be an excuse for not biking. Its aerodynamic shape reduces the drag from the wind, which, along with the low profile, make riding at high speeds much less tiring than on a conventional double-diamond frame bike.
Safety features such as front and rear lights, brake signals, and turn signals can easily be added as pedal-powered accessories for those that wish, and all controlled simply from the under-seat steering system. There is even space behind the seat for the backpack, briefcase, or groceries (in reusable grocery bags, of course).
ecogo is ready to go. Are you?"
While I am posting, I want to say thanks to all of you who have recently emailed me some great links and tips. I am a bit behind on the blog at the moment, so I haven't been able to respond to all of the messages personally, but I do appreciate each and every one of them. I will sort through all of those emails soon, so look for one those long posts of unrelated links in the near future.

By LGR Financial News Staff
The S&P 500 fell for a fourth straight day, and the market to end mostly lower on Thursday, as buyers stepped back to wait out lawmakers in Washington who are trying to hash out an agreement on the deficit.
The wrangling over the U.S. deficit has boosted volatility as stocks fell throughout the day, leaving insiders saying that investors are skeptical a key vote by Congress would lead to a deal to avoid a default.
The Dow Jones industrial average ended down 62.44 points, or 0.51 percent, at 12,240.11. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 4.22 points, or 0.32 percent, at 1,300.67 points, or 0.05 percent, at 2,766.25, leaving the S&P 500 down 3.3 percent on the week.
The dollar also dropped toward a postwar low against the yen and the yield on 10-year Treasury notes fell 0.02 percentage point to 2.96 percent..
"During the course of the day, it became clear that even if (Republican House Speaker John) Boehner does get the vote, when it's turned over to the Senate, the Senate is going to reject it. That seems to be the reason for the selling into strength," said Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial in Newark, New Jersey.
A vote on a Republican sponsored bill to raise the debt limit was expected after the close of trading today in the U.S. House of Representatives. However the Democratic-controlled Senate is also offering up a competing bill, and Democratic leaders have said the House bill will be defeated in the Senate. Analysts also cite dissension among the ranks of GOP lawmakers as reason investors are less certain that a deal to avoid defaulting on the debt can happen.
Even if a deal is reached and the U.S. doesn't default, investors are, as well, worried that the country might lose its triple-A credit rating. That could raise interest rates and possibly slow down the U.S. economy, which is still recovering from the worst recession in decades.

Magnablend fire location
WAXAHACHIE — More than 48 hours after toxic chemicals caught fire, a Waxahachie plant was still smoldering Wednesday evening; you can still smell it in the air.
For the first time, we are experiencing what it was like for firefighters just moments before fast-moving flames enveloped their ladder truck.
On a recording of emergency communications, you can hear Waxahachie calling in backup from nearby towns and trying to manage a limited amount of water.
The real drama emerges about 50 minutes after the initial call when it becomes clear to firefighters that their truck is suddenly in danger.
"We've got leaking fluids and I think we're about to lose a truck here," one firefighter reports via radio.
Flammable liquids from inside the Magnablend plant were leaking out of the building and onto the driveway where a ladder truck is parked.
In less than two minutes, the situation is out of control, and the same firefighter requests an evacuation from a commander who wants him to hold his position.
Firefighter: "Evacuate!"
Commander: "There is no evacuating your end for any reason."
Firefighter: "We have burning fluids coming towards the apparatus!"
Commander: "10-4."
Seconds later, the truck disappears into the arms of the flames. The firefighters all escaped with their lives.
Late Wednesday afternoon, the Environmental Protection Agency continued to monitor the air surrounding the Magnablend plant, saying the quality is good.
The EPA has just released some of the technical details of its air and ground samples. The agency is working with state and local officials to release the information to concerned parties in Waxahachie.
