In honor of our fantasy draft, even though it's a list for fantasy football, it still applies here. I wonder how many of these we will have in our league.
Posted 13 March 2012 - 07:37 PM
So the draft is over and only took 2.5 hours (not bad for a 24 team league), but the results are scary. I drafted heavy with pitching to start but my offense is rather pathetic, but I do have a starting staff of Justin V, King Felix, and Adam W with bullpen of Kerry Wood, David Robertson, and Jonathan Papelbon. I did get Eric Hosmer and Chase Headley at the corners but outside of that its kinda of sad.
Posted 13 March 2012 - 07:56 PM
I went into the draft with a master plan that involved taking Jesus Montero early, Bryce Harper way too early, and Mike Trout insanely early.
Harper went off the board 3 rounds before I thought he would, Montero 2 rounds, and I never saw when Trout vanished. He just suddenly wasn't there anymore.
I did come out of it with an awesome 2014 rotation, though.

I think I did all right. My team is pretty old though. Drafted Torii Hunter in the hopes that hitting behind Pujols will be good for his stats. I can't believe how early some prospects went. It will be interesting to see if they pan out. Just thought they went super high.

I have a 6 month old Mini Aussie and I was looking for something for him to chew on, after reading all the reviews on this how they lasted so long I decided to get some for Max. I was a little disappointed in the size/amount for the money I paid. I do not see how these bones lasted for hours for your dogs, I gave one to my 27 pound Aussie and he had it gone in 45 minutes. Not sure I will buy these again.
What an exciting treat! This was a long lasting challenge even for my power chewer.

Baseball-Reference offers a wonderfully easy-to-use Play Index Tool on their site for the incredibly low cost of two dollars a day, six dollars a month, or just 36$ a year. With the PI, you can query just about any season or career info you want, and within seconds your strangest, most ridiculous sense of baseball curiosity is satisfied with the swift click of a button. Even the most obsessive, geekiest of baseball fans can walk away feeling fulfilled.
But the key words here are "just about." Because for those of us on the fringe of complete insanity, where an obsession with baseball statistics blends with pure psychosis, the PI isn't always enough. We want our own. And fortunately, the good people at Baseball-Reference offer to the public all their WAR data (including fielding, positional value, leverage index, opposition strength, et al) for absolutely free in a convenient downloadable .csv format.
You don't need to be world-class data programmer to provide yourself with this awesome, mind-blowing sense of power, either. All it takes is a little moxie and a little help from the Beyond the Box Score Community and you can be on your way to having your own massive rWAR, fWAR, and WARP database in no time.
Getting Started
Firstly, however, you need to start at the beginning and download SQLpro for your mac (or SQLyog for your PC), per the instructions here. Adding the Lahman database is probably a good idea, also, as it will provide you with more basic, albeit essential, information on players and teams you will likely need later on.
Secondly, then, you need to import the Baseball-Reference csv file, which can be found here. Scroll down to the middle of the page or so until you see this link:
The links provided here are functioning, but it is important to know where to find this link should you want to update your database during the 2013 season (which, face it-- you will).
The WAR data is separated into two files: one for pitchers, one for position players. When you click on each link, an extremely large csv table will appear. You will need to CTRL+A and CTRL+C that and paste it into an excel-type program.
If you know how to import a csv you should skip the next section.
The CSV file
Because I've never figured out how to properly paste csv files into mac's excel-imitator "Numbers," I use OpenOffice ( a free program) instead. You can download it free here.
- Once you have your spreadsheet open, select "Edit / Paste Special".
- Select "unformatted text", then "OK".
- On the "Text Import" page you will need to select 'Separated by' and then check the box marked 'comma'.
- Then click "OK."
Once the file is opened and it appears to be formatted properly, choose 'Save as' with '.csv' as your filetype.
Importing into SQL
Now return to your SQLpro program and open up your Lahaman database.
- Select 'File/Import'
- Find your file, click 'Open'
A window should pop up titled "CSV Import Field Mapping". You'll want your WAR table to be its own table and NOT import it into another table, so click the button marked "New" on the far right of the header tab. Name it whatever you want, naturally, but I name mine WAR_b and WAR_p.
Now, this is the part where we should probably consult the community here, because I'm certainly not well-versed enough in the ways of data storage to take you through the next step confidently. But I can tell you what I do.
There should be three columns visible to you at this point. One labeled 'CSV fields' and one labeled 'Table fields'. These should match one another precisely. The third column is unnamed, and that contins what type of data each row is storing. For instance, for names of players and teams that field should be a "VARCHAR" with parenthesis denoting the maximum number of characters that field can hold (I believe the default setting is 255). For integers like "year_id" I've chosen "INT(4)". For anything dealing with decimals, like "runs_offense" or "runs_defense", I just choose "DOUBLE."
This is probably a lazy and inefficient means of storing your data, but perhaps someone with more expertise can help you with this if you'd like.
Once you've finished , click 'IMPORT' and your new WAR table should appear in your database in a few moments.
Running a WAR Query
First thing first: index the daylights out of your new tables:
CREATE INDEX player_idx ON WAR_b (player_ID);
CREATE INDEX year_idx ON WAR_b (year_ID):
CREATE INDEX player_idx ON WAR_p (player_ID);
CREATE INDEX year_idx ON WAR_p (year_ID):
You should even index Team_ID and whatever else you feel may be helpful for the types of queries you want to write.
Then you can begin having fun. Maybe start with something simple:
SELECT player_ID, name_common, year_ID, SUM(WAR) as WAR
FROM WAR_b
WHERE year_ID = 2012
GROUP BY player_ID, year_ID
That should return you the top 25 WAR earners in the 2012 season from both leagues, with a certain spectacular rookie season at the top of the list:
player_ID | name_common | year_ID | WAR |
troutmi01 | Mike Trout | 2012 | 10.7 |

Remember Me
on Tuesday, 04 January 2011. Hits 1112
Culpeper Star Exponent
A two-day jury trial is set to begin at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday for an Arlington man charged with rape in what prosecutors describe as a consensual bondage-themed sexual encounter that escalated out of control.
Benjamin R. Senter, 49, faces a single felony charge of rape. Senter pleaded not guilty to the charge in July after a grand jury in June upheld a direct indictment against Senter.
He was freed on a $50,000 secured bond following his arrest June 22.
At a May bond hearing, Circuit Court Judge John G. Barry stipulated that Senter had to surrender his passport, adhere to a curfew and travel for work-related purposes only. The judge also imposed an unusual condition, stipulating that Senter may not participate in any sexual fetish or bondage-related activities while awaiting trial.
A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Senter worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency at Bolling Air Force Base at the time of his arrest.
At the May hearing, Senter's defense attorney, John Spencer of Fredericksburg, told the court that Senter and the alleged female victim met through a sexual fetish website in 2003.
Since that time, Spencer said Senter and the unidentified woman met for about a dozen encounters that involved consensual bondage, discipline, dominance and submission.
But during an encounter on April 2, prosecutors told the court that the role-playing escalated out of control. They say the woman told authorities that despite telling him to stop, Senter disregarded a "safe word", a word or phrase used to immediately stop the role-playing. The woman says Senter hit her with a cane, bit her and dragged her by the hair.
The defense acknowledged that the woman confronted Senter about the incident the following morning. But Spencer told the court in May that Senter sincerely thought the matter was resolved after he apologized to her in person and later through a text message.

[Warning: This story contains major spoilers from the Season 1 finale of Under the Dome as well as the Stephen King novel the series is based on. Read at your own risk.]
For those guessing it was aliens — like Stephen King's novel — you were right. You just probably didn't know you were right.
Under the Dome closed its first season Monday and left viewers with more questions than answers. After naming Julia (Rachelle Lefevre), not Barbie (Mike Vogel), the Monarch, pink stars fell in lines on the darkened dome, following which it turned opaque white. Before that, though, a vision of Alice (Samantha Mathis) appeared to the group to explain that the dome was put in place for their protection. From what? And what exactly was the vision of Alice? TVGuide.com turned to executive producer Neal Baer to find out...read more
[Warning: This story contains major spoilers from Monday's episode of Under the Dome as well as the Stephen King novel the series is based on. Read at your own risk.]
There's more than one dome!
The giant dome that descended upon Chester's Mill has a smaller dome at its center, which Joe (Colin Ford) and Norrie (Mackenzie Lintz) discovered on Monday's Under the Dome. The mini-dome contained a small egg. What the what?!
Elsewhere in town, Alice (Samantha Mathis) lost her life from insulin deficiency after helping Julia's
(Rachelle Lefevre) neighbor give birth. Townsfolk also suffered from random visions from the dome and Big Jim (Dean Norris) went commando on someone who tried to take his stuff. Yikes! With so many new questions raised, TVGuide.com turned to executive producer Neal Baer to get the scoop:
Since Under the Dome premiered, the CBS drama has killed off at least one character — if not several — in each episode. Usually they've been people we haven't really gotten to know yet, since it's still relatively early in the series. But Monday's episode will feature the death of a character many have come to know and love that will reverberate throughout the town...read more
Exclusive Clip for episode "Outbreak" of Under The Dome.
A powerful film directed by Emmy Award winner Janet Grillo (Autism: The Musical), FLY AWAY narrates the story of Jeanne (Beth Broderick, Bonfire of the Vanities, Sabrina the Teenage Witch) and her autistic teenage daughter, Mandy (Ashley Rickards, One Tree Hill). Jeanne has cared for Mandy since the day she was born, growing closer every day to a child who is charmingly offbeat one moment and nearly impossible to manage the next. In the dog park, Jeanne encounters Tom (Greg Germann, Ally McBeal, Friends with Money), an easygoing and accepting neighbor who sparks a romantic interest, but she finds juggling Mandy's care and her own career leaves little room for a new man. As the pressures of work and her child's needs increase, she must decide whether or not to enroll Mandy in a therapeutic residential facility. Over the course of a few weeks, Jeanne is confronted with the most difficult decision a parent can make: to let go, allowing her child to grow, but also grow apart or to hold on tight and fall together.

Plot & Details
Director Zack Snyder teams with screenwriters John Collee and John Orloff to adapt author Kathryn Lasky's popular series of children's books about a group of kidnapped owlets who take flight to save their kingdom from an ancient evil by locating the legendary Guardians of Ga'Hoole. As a young hatchling, Soren would sit transfixed whenever his father would tell the tale of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole and their tireless efforts to defeat the malevolent Pure Ones, whose aim was to exterminate the entire owl population. After hearing the high-flying tales of adventure, Soren would fantasize about gliding through the clouds with the brave owl soldiers while his jealous older brother, Kludd, attempted to gain their father's favor by becoming a skilled hunter. One day, Kludd's anger gets the best of him, and the next thing he knows he's tumbling over the edge of the nest with Soren. But instead of falling to the ground, the siblings are quickly snatched up by the dreaded Pure Ones, and are taken to a place where their parents will never find them. Incredibly, Soren and group of fearless young owls manage to stage a daring escape. With the future of the owl kingdoms hanging in the balance, brave Soren and his newfound friends travel to the ends of the earth in hopes of finding the mythical Great Tree and convincing the Guardians of Ga'Hoole to help defeat the Pure Ones once and for all.

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 8:54 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 30, 2008
By Jamie Dupree
The big story on the campaign trail today is in Georgia, where Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will stump for incumbent GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who faces a Tuesday runoff election, one of two unfinished Senate races in 2008.
Chambliss faces Democrat Jim Martin, who hopes to spin an upset and give Democrats a shot at gaining 60 seats in the Senate, enough votes to block any Republican filibusters.
The other Senate race that remains up in the air is in Minnesota, where a hand recount continues this week.
GOP Sen. Norm Coleman holds a 282 vote lead over Democrat Al Franken. Many smaller cities and towns will start their recount on Wednesday of this week.
No final result is expected from Minnesota until later this month - and it's entirely possible that the legal wrangling will go on into the new Congress, with the winner possibly being determined by the full Senate.
As of now, over 5,000 ballots have been challenged by the two campaigns, much more than the current margin in favor of Coleman.
The big news on the Senate front though is about Sarah Palin, as Georgia Republicans clearly think she can generate some interest and get GOP voters to the polls tomorrow in the Peach State.
Much like our Red/Blue divide of recent years, Gov. Palin is certainly viewed through that prism by most voters.
A poll out in recent days shows that about two thirds of Republicans hope Palin stays involved in national politics and two thirds of Democrats and Independents hope she goes to Alaska and stays in Alaska.
Can't get much Red vs Blue than that.
If Palin can help deliver victory in Georgia for Sen. Chambliss, then all the talk of "60 votes" will have to wait until the next election.
But there is a danger zone here for the Alaska Governor, because I'm sure if Chambliss were to lose this week, some people would blame it on her.
That's a main reason that Barack Obama didn't travel to Georgia to campaign. There wasn't much to gain, because a loss for Martin and the Democrats would be viewed as a personal rejection for Obama, just four weeks after his election win.

As I made my way down the nearly 300 steps, I was starting to wonder what in the world I was doing there.
I could see the bottom of the cave through the steps as I plunged deeper in. An important note, I have a minor fear of heights.
Hearing that it would take medics three hours to get to someone in need of medical attention heightened my fear a bit.
Isn't it amazing how politicians, do-gooders and salesmen promise if we only spend a few more million dollars, everything will be wonderful - if the taxpayers are paying for it.
Only three years ago, we were told by the Taylor County School Board if we didn't pay more taxes (only a nickel) it would be horrible. But it was voted down.
You can often see it in their eyes, if you take the time to look. That far away gaze tells you they are somewhere else - maybe in the future or the past, but not the present.
Or sometimes their eyes dart this way and that, like those of a trapped animal searching for an escape route.
And if you have occasion to be with them for very long, you'll notice a restlessness, an inability to move forward with any kind of fruitfulness, even though they might exhibit workaholic tendencies or conversely, extreme lethargy.
The past couple of weeks have been busy in and around Frankfort with joint committee meetings on a wide range of issues, including the DOD's planned forced brigade reduction at Ft. Knox, the possible ways to help SNAP recipients better balance their food budgets and the impact of impending federal regulations on coal.
A heartfelt thank you is offered to Campbellsville Mayor Tony Young and Taylor County Judge/Executive Eddie Rogers for coming out on July 4 in a persistent rain and presenting the proclamation that identifies Campbellsville as a "Purple Heart City." It was an honor to have them present at the Edwards-O'Banion Post 82 American Legion Hall for the ceremony originally scheduled for the main stage Fourth of July activities.
We would like to publicly thank Brian Smothers and the Taylor County Road Department for quickly fixing the bridge/road damage from the recent heavy rains.
Bear Track Road was closed due to a large section of the road leading to the bridge being completely gone. This is a very heavily traveled road to get from the east side of the county to the west side shopping area.
I enjoyed reading the article about Mr. Eon on Parkinson's disease. I appreciate him sharing his story.
He is right, you need to stay active, doing therapy and having a daily routine. There is no known cure for Parkinson's now. You have to learn to live with it.
While we realize the weekend verdict finding George Zimmerman not guilty of the 2012 murder of Trayvon Martin is a lot more important than winning a sporting event, there do seem to be some similarities.
Fans, and aren't we all one of those, back the coach as long as the team comes out on top. It's like the old saying, "Coach, we're behind you, win or win" when it used to be "Coach, we're behind you win, lose or draw."
Coaches, like game officials, never win; they only lose.

All a bit bare bones, the atmosphere probably changes, though when I was there everyone was very chatty, either through excitement at going home, or deferring the misery of same. The beds are comfortable, the staff very friendly and (at least for us that night) gave out a free 200mb wifi voucher which is neat. There's a shop and restaurants nearby; not an amazing selection, but enough to get you through.

This is a stop gap hostel for people travelling through Auckland airport. As such it has no atmosphere but the place is clean and facilities are basic but adequate to stay one night, if staying longer or to visit Auckland I'd recommend to stay downtown

Had the doorhandle of my dorm room in my hands fisrt time I entered the place, even so I informed the staff it wasn't fixed when I left 5 days later. I booked a girls dorm and on one of the nights was a boy put in to the room... The male staffmember at reception was just rude and arrogant. The female was quit nice though. It's alright for a night but don't recommend to stay longer, unless you have to.

text: true i agree with you, but iphone 3 wasnt rushed and it had testers and had all sorts of issues. Along with the nexus which had call quality issues and it had signal issues. Its impossible to test in all markets and with a huge variety of apps. They dont put out that many tester phones. Throughout most of the internet which i have been searching since oct for the d4 i have only seen 1 or 2 tester phones in the wild photos. You also have to remember we are the 1 to 3 percent that even knows this phone has been delayed FOREVER. 75 percent of people probably dont even know this phone is comming that are going to buy it. So i dont think most people are worried about it being behind the curve

Founder & CEO
Career Opportunities
Compensation & Benefits
Work/Life Balance
Senior Leadership
Culture & Values
Pros – Some really great people to work with. There's loads of talent and more vision than they know to do with. The folks who have been there awhile are supremely dedicated and knowledgeable, but they need to open up the discussions to some of the other talented folks in the building.
Cons – People are not being properly led. Many of the leaders fall into highly political behaviors as there seems to be a complete backlog of trying to get anything done. Technology team is old school thinking and can't get out of their own way - they spend so much energy trying to explain themselves and discussing how to make it seem like things are progressing - when they're not. The product team is all over the map - some very strong folks and others who are simply hard to work with. Way too much finger pointing in the wrong directions that everybody acts like they're constantly on their heels. People who are actually succeeding are not even recognized and many of the folks who are kicking ass are being directly blamed as the problem.... terribly strange.
Advice to Senior Management – Listen to the team - there are some smart folks there. So much distrust makes it hard to get anything done. Stop worrying about why things are not getting done and just get it done. Properly staff the tech team with better development talent and get rid of the poor-performing tech and product managers.
Pros – informal dress code, stocked kitchen with hot & cold drinks, fruit, bagels, snacks, etc. video game machines to play during break.
Cons – it a large company nowadays. every one works late hours. sometimes 10 - 12 hrs day. that's great if you dont have a life.
Pros – A few smart people still remain. Free snacks and games.
Cons – There is little direction and weak leadership. The company goals change nearly every week and most time is spent butting heads with other departments jockeying for a prominent role in the devolving mission. At one time, TrueCar was an innovative and forward-looking company. After it 'reorganized' itself a few times , several talented people have been redirected to perform functions for which they lack experience or, more commonly, left the company. The CEO called the remaining staff 'crusaders' and the former staff 'mercenaries'. Many of the mercenaries should be more appropriately labeled 'heretics'. They once believed in the mission, but either no longer believe or are unable to pin down exactly what the mission is/will be this/next week.
Advice to Senior Management – Announce that there will be only one more reorganization defined with clarity, focus, and a commitment to faithfully pursue an unchanging set of goals. Then, reorganize in a way that allows you to best execute those goals. Avoid shiny objects like the Yahoo deal - it seems that every person below the EVP level knew is would be a financial disaster and they were right.
Pros – Excellent pay, cool location, lots of snacks. Some great guys on the development team, and a few good tech leads. CTO is very accesible and is always willing to sit down and discuss ideas with line-level employees and managers alike.
Cons – The absence of a solid product/development process and overall sense of direction contributes to developers being in near-constant "crunch" mode. Company's culture glorifies and reinforces this behavior; TrueCar veterans boast about the number of hours they've put in during crunches, and management lays on the praise for those who've sacrificed their social/family lives for the company. Not an easy company to work for if you've any desire to maintain a healthy work/life balance.
Advice to Senior Management – Get more concerned about your tech team's turnover rate.
Pros – Amazing location(s), incredibly smart people, THE BEST benefits you can get...and 100% covered by the company, provides everyone with snacks/food/whatever you need so you can get your work done, no office politics or drama. Simply, it's the coolest company and best place to work you can find. I'm not sure what the negative reviews were about...but those people must be crazy. The one even said bad location??? We are literally in a BRAND NEW office with ocean view in Santa Monica and our other location two blocks away is amazing too...with ocean view on SM and 2nd. If you can work here...work here. It's amazing!
Cons – I'm sure the same issues that any company experiencing explosive growth would have - changes in product roadmap, lot of new employees, startup environment...
Advice to Senior Management – I think the advice that we need more "workers" and less directors/managers is pretty right on, but when building a new company you start by hiring the best in the industry and those types don't leave their current job to come to a new company as a "worker". Now that we've got over 200 employees, the growth on the "worker" side will catch up to mngmnt.
Pros – The Co. is going somewhere - it's exciting. All employees have stock options, so they have a passion for what they're doing. Benefits 100% paid by Co, location (ocean views!), work hard: play hard, working with smart people who take pride in their work.
Cons – there is a lot of change. If you like a steady-eddie work enviornment, this is not for you.
Advice to Senior Management – Focus on a few top priorities. Don't staff up too quickly.
Pros – Location, benefits, flexibility, intelligent people, work hard play hard, pay for performance... this place has it all.
Cons – My commute. I wish I could live in Santa Monica!
Pros – None, I'm not kidding. Actually, Salary. They pay over market. Their HR department is a bunch of pushovers.
Cons – That place is hell. I wish I never worked there. DO NOT. I repeat DO NOT. Work there. Any doubt? Ask to shadow someone that does something similar to you for one day. That place is a disaster, they have to use all external recruiters because they can't keep people in fast enough. 6 months makes you a veteran. No workers is right way too many directors. I don't get it. They're also super unprofessional. Sott Hansesn (COO) thinks his Ari Gold, swore at my coworker in a meeting with our department. All in all, if you can flip burgers at McDonalds for $8/hour do it because you'll be happier than making $200k at TrueCar.
Advice to Senior Management – God where to begin, do the opposite of what your doing? Oh and get people OFFICES, this isn't the movie boiler room.
Pros – Good location, some smart people, good snacks, and benefits.
Cons – It really sucks and it is getting worse. The company merged with Zag and that is when it really went downhill. I am lucky to have gotten out. I think most others would leave if they had the chance. The office space is ugly and there are some real morons in positions of authority. The agenda and business model changes with the wind.
Advice to Senior Management – Trim the fat. Too many directors and managers. Not enough workers.
Pros – The team here is the strongest I have ever seen - and I've been working in start ups for several years. We're working at the most exciting company in the automotive industry as well as the local start up world. Being extremely technology focused, the company is constantly evolving and building new, innovative products. The senior team is strong and sound, as is my coworkers. If you want a real challenge and aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves and sprint away, then I can't imagine a better place to work.
Cons – The general pace is pretty intense - this place is not meant to be for the faint of heart. I feel like we move so fast at times that we may not stop to mentor as much as we should. I just wish we had a chance to stop and enjoy what we've built, but that will come is due time.
Advice to Senior Management – Make sure you reward the team. We work soooo hard.
Honestly, I could care less what TrueCar employees think. I hope they are all miserable.
Calling someone "weak" was about the worst label you could put on a salesperson. Any GM or Internet Director that signs up for TrueCar is weak. If they had the knowledge, skill and talent, they wouldn't have to.
Sounds like Management rewards themselves and provides video games for their employees as rewards. Typical corporate B.S. issues happening there, it sounds like. Some like it. Doesn't sound different or appealing as a company to work for. Typical reviews...typical company. Definitely a duplicate book cover of any other tech company "trying to have fun at work."
Adam Ross , The information can be found online. As far as the title, it came from the source code.
And I just re-posted it, All the hype about Reviews, dealers need to know evrything about the venders they spend money with.
I'm not sure I would title or classify this post as anything resembling an indictment surrounding the accuracy or validity of TrueCar's customer reviews.
It looks like these are anonymous evaluations by TrueCar employees of their employer, possibly even completed under the guise of confidentiality... Sounds like there may be some big internal problems, but a scam? I don't see it in this case, sorry Manny...

Bloomingdale's Vice Chairman and Executive Vice President CLASS OF 1970
Frank Doroff attended Washington & Jefferson College during one of the most tumultuous times in both the College's and nation's history. The late 60s and early 70s brought with them the entrance of women to W&J and the Vietnam War to the United States. Doroff recalls the campus being divided on both fronts. "The entire College had strong opinions on both issues, although most people were anti-war and pro-integration," he says.
For Doroff, however, the most pressing issue was the war. "I was number 302 in the draft lottery and my roommate was number 16," he says. "And though I ultimately was not drafted, it was a sobering experience." Outside the stresses of the draft, Doroff's time at W&J was full of opportunities and great memories. He majored in economics and English, joined Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, and won the Presidents' Athletic Conference tennis championship during his freshman year. "Being at W&J was my first time away from home," he says. "It gave me a chance to try new things and grow up."
In his senior year at W&J, Doroff was accepted into the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business. Though he initially was intimidated by some of his Ivy League counterparts, Doroff quickly found that W&J had prepared him well to compete. "I discovered that my education at W&J gave me the confidence and knowledge to contend with some of the best intellectuals in the world," he says. Upon his graduation from Wharton, Doroff began work at Macy's as an executive trainee before eventually becoming the chairman of Federated and Allied Merchandising Services at Bullock's Wilshire department store in 1988.
In 1991, Doroff left Bullock's and began work at Bloomingdale's. Eighteen years later, he hasn't looked back. As vice chairman and executive vice president, Doroff is responsible for 33 apparel stores, company buyers, and the corporation's Internet business. "It is a very exciting job," he says. "Every day is like receiving a grade and there is no better feeling than getting feedback and making a difference."

Student TAP Coach - Summer Study
At colleges operating on a traditional academic calendar (two semesters—fall and spring, or three quarters/trimesters—fall, winter, spring), if a summer term is also offered, the term is considered an optional term over and above the regular academic year.
Under certain circumstances, you can receive a TAP award for summer study that is in addition to your annual TAP award. Such additional awards for summer study are considered "accelerated" TAP.
If you are receiving your first award in the 2006-07 academic year or thereafter, to be eligible for an accelerated summer payment you must satisfy the following specific criteria in addition to the general TAP eligibility requirements:
You must be enrolled full time in the prior spring term;
You must earn 24 credits from the college where you are matriculated in the prior two terms (3 credit equivalents in remedial study in each term are permitted as part of the total 24 credits; that is 18 credits plus 6 credit equivalents); this requirement must be met each time you apply for an accelerated summer award.
You can receive a full-time or half-time summer accelerated award. If you apply for a half-time accelerated payment, you must enroll for at least six but fewer than 12 semester hours.
Accelerated TAP is available for full-time and half-time undergraduate summer study for students attending degree-granting colleges or two-year programs in registered private business schools.
For TAP purposes, all summer sessions are combined and treated as a single term.

D-backs vs Brewers
- Saturday 10/1, 2:00 PM ET at Miller Park
- Radio: ARI: KTAR 620, ESPN Radio, ESPN Deportes 710 MIL: WTMJ 620, ESPN Radio
When the National League Division Series begins at Miller Park on Saturday, the host Brewers will be fulfilling a potential made clear last winter, while the visiting D-backs will be fulfilling what could only have been a warm and fuzzy dream then.
But when they get between the lines Saturday for Game 1 of the NLDS, it's back to square one at a whole new level.
"Everything that's happened, just throw it out the window," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said after his team's remarkable regular-season ride. "This is a new series."
Having claimed their first division title since 1982, when they were in the American League East, the Brewers take their NL Central crown into Saturday's opener against the NL West-champion D-backs, the true surprise entrant in the postseason tournament, even with last-minute shockers in the Wild Card races.
Right-hander Ian Kennedy, a 21-game winner and one of the main reasons the D-backs' success shouldn't be much of a surprise, will take the ball for the opener against right-hander Yovani Gallardo, named to his second Game 1 NLDS start, a 2 p.m. ET tilt on TBS.
With dual MVP candidates in Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder, Kennedy will be faced with one of the game's most imposing lineups. But Gallardo will be facing the lineup that averaged more runs per game, with Arizona checking in at fourth in the league at 4.51, just ahead of Milwaukee's 4.46.
The teams have one thing in common: They're exactly where they want to be.
"You work all year to get to this point," said Braun. "You put in your work starting the middle of February with one goal in mind: Get to the playoffs. And now that we've accomplished the first part of that goal, we're excited to get started."
Of course, the one advantage that the Brewers can boast in this series before it starts is home-field advantage, and that's a rather large one in this case.
Milwaukee led the Majors with a 57-24 home record, shattering the franchise mark for home wins among its club-record 96 overall. The Crew also drew 3,071,373 fans to set a new Miller Park standard. That said, the D-backs did win two of three games there in July, joining the Mets (2-1) and Phillies (3-1) as the only teams to have a positive ledger in Milwaukee this season.
The roof is expected to be closed at Miller Park for Game 1, so it's certain to be a loud and intense atmosphere.
"It's going to be noisy," Gibson said. "All the things that we work on -- communication, understanding each others' body languages -- this is when it all comes into play."
Both managers will be making their postseason debuts in that role Saturday, although Gibson obviously has a memorable October resume as a player. Gibson, in his first full season after taking over the club in July 2010, put his stamp of intensity on this team from the first day of Spring Training, and it worked.
"One thing that will be similar is that we'll just compete, continue to compete as a manager, keep our players competing," Gibson said.
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke, hired last winter for his first managerial assignment after 10 years coaching with the Angels, also put his stamp on the Brewers as the picture of calm focus through a trying spring and some occasional turbulence. He said his postseason experience with the Angels and during his playing career can only help.
"The more times you're in the playoffs, the more you're around the atmosphere, the more that you see what happens to players and what happens to outside influences on those players, the easier it gets," Roenicke said.
The pitching matchup says a lot about why these two teams are where they are. Kennedy is the leader of a strong, young rotation, and Gallardo is the incumbent in a rotation that added two more aces in Zack Greinke -- announced Friday as the Game 2 starter on short rest -- and Shaun Marcum.
Kennedy, a former Yankees first-round Draft pick, lived up to his career promise with consistent ace-quality performances throughout 2011. Now 26, he went at least seven innings 20 times in 33 starts and allowed one run or fewer in 16. He'll be pitching on six days' rest when he takes the mound Saturday for his postseason debut.
"It's going to be a battle through the whole game," Kennedy said. "It's going to be fun, just because it's the playoffs."
Gallardo pitched Game 1 of the 2008 NL Division Series as a 22-year-old and, coming off a knee injury that limited him to one September start, lasted seven innings in a loss to the Phillies. Three seasons later, he led the Brewers in wins (17) and strikeouts (207) in 2011, finishing strong with a 1.77 ERA and 36 strikeouts over 20 1/3 innings in his last three regular-season starts.
"I'm just going to go out there and do the same thing I've been doing all year," Gallardo said. "I'm sure all the guys, we're all very excited. We can't wait for [Saturday]. But yet again, we still have to go out there and it's going to be tough but you have to look at it as another game."
Gallardo, who went 10-2 with a 3.00 ERA at home this year, scored two of his victories this season against the D-backs, allowing one run on four hits each time. The 25-year-old will be pitching on seven days' rest, but threw a simulated game Tuesday to beef up his between-starts regimen.
On July 21, Kennedy threw seven shutout innings at home against the Brewers for a victory in a four-game series the teams split. In that start, he struck out Fielder twice but allowed Braun a double, one of just four hits against him, and the only one for extra bases.
Kennedy might be new to this postseason thing, but he knows those two sluggers are at the heart of his challenge as he steps to the mound for Game 1.
"It's no secret that Braun and Fielder are a bit part of their lineup," Kennedy said. "They have a lot of other good players, but Braun has had an MVP-type season and so has Prince. Those two guys can hurt you."

Portfolio Tweak
From a more bottoms up view, there is no debt, decent cash flow and the rest of the stats look good as well--most of them anyway. In the time I have owned it it has not really distinguished itself as being a good or a bad hold. At times it has outperformed and at times it has lagged in coming out about the same as the broad healthcare sector over the last five plus years.
The reason why I sold it is that it began to dawn on me that there is some aspect of this type of surgery that can be viewed as being discretionary and if the financial crisis has really had the impact on personal finances that the experts say it did then it stands to reason that some procedures won't get done as money needed for the deductible would be harder to part with (all the more so for people who would pay out of pocket for whatever reason). Carrying it a step further it is possible that boomers will have to cut back some on some of the more expensive activities that could necessitate a future replacement.
My thinking may be right or not but I don't want to stick around in the name to find out. In the healthcare sector I would rather avoid any hint of discretionary (or perhaps more precisely, elective) spending which lead me to diabetes. Some of the numbers I dug up doing research were brutal in terms of growth rates for diabetes and once someone learns they have it it has to be treated. Sadly it seems that everything points to more and more people being diagnosed which bodes well for Novo Nordisk (NVO) so the trade was dollar for dollar out of SYK and into NVO.
From the top down the trade slightly increases the foreign exposure of the portfolio (although about 30% of NVO's revenue comes from the US) after a big move up in the greenback, adds a new non-euro country in Denmark but it also increases the average cap size a little (SYK about $20 billion and NVO about $40 billion). Additionally the position provides access to about 25% of Novozymes.
NVO's stats look pretty good as do estimates and the primary business is something that a growing number of people (and their insurance companies) will have to spend money on. Being wrong about this would mean very good things for the health of Americans. NVO is the largest company in the OMX Copenhagen 20 Index and so is featured prominently in a couple of ETFs including the GlobalX FTSE Nordic 30 ETF (GXF).
A couple of things about Denmark; you know from Bill Gross's ring of fire that its debt situation is well under control, unemployment in December was 4.3%, GDP contracted slightly in 2009 but is forecast to go slightly positive this year.
The picture includes a couple of dogs that we are babysitting for the week. The dogs are up for adoption through my wife's rescue. The brown one at the bottom left whom I am calling Brownie and the black one in the middle of the steps whom I am calling Blackie can be found through the United Animal Friends website.

Good morning, Roger--NVO has been on my radar for quite sometime. I was guessing that you already owned it. Thank you for the instructive post.
If you have time, I have a hypothetical question. If NVO were headquatered in, say, Germany, would that have been a dealbreaker? I get the euro thing, but NVO has a global franchise that's not as dependent on the Danish economy as a consumer discretionary company, for example.
Thank you. I'm just trying to understand the moving parts. - 7:05 AM

Your analysis seems good to me.
Actually though my doctor thought I was a candidate for diabetes 13 years ago. It has been a difficult learning experience, but diet and exercise has led to losing 35 lbs and lowering my cholesterol by 25 to 30%.
I hate to admit this next one to you but I cut out soda 6 months ago and think that may have been positive as well.
Diabetes is or at least the degree of medication needed is also discretionary IMO. But you are betting people will be lazy and I am willing to bet you are correct. - 7:22 AM

anon 7:05, what you are really pointing out is that NVO is a multinational that benefits (or not) from overseas business. This is really not much different, conceptually, than CAT which is another name we own. As the largest name in the OMX C20 (unless the 2 Maersk listings add up to more, which I do not know) I believe it to be a proxy. good question re: Germany, that certainly would have been a big strike.
7:22 ah that evil soda. glad to hear anytime anyone gives it up. very sadly the laziness of Americans in this regard is a good bet.as implied in the post I would not be too upset if this name did not work out because people got healthier. - 8:32 AM

I followed SYK when I ran a value stocks portfolio, it never entered the portfolio but I remember that the fundamentals were strong... I don't know why it never seemed to move strongly toward "fairly valued".
I personally would shy away from NVO because they are a charade. I laugh when I hear their tagline on NPR about 'finding the causes and treatments for diabetes' because actually succeeding at that would destroy the sales for their product line.
If our spendthrift healthcare system is ever reformed on purpose or by accident of economic deterioration then I predict that chronic illness will ACTUALLY be treated with diet changes instead of lip service for diet and a big bill for prescription drugs.
There is a study showing that a vegan diet is a better treatment for diabetes type I and II than the ADA recommended diet LOL. Type II diabetics can actually become symptom free on diet alone, which should surprise no one. Here is a pop-media review of the journal article: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/07/26/health/webmd/main1837927.shtml - 9:33 AM

I think the other question is will health care reform limit insurance companies covering this kind of thing? That may hurt quite a few stocks - not just the insurers.

It seems to me me the current financial deficits and looming budgetary constraints the federal government will be obliged to revisit the medicare Part D law and have a restricted formulary and competitive bidding in the next five years. This will reduce profit potential of all drug companies.

Here's my newest drum kit. It's a limited edition Gretsch 120th Anniversary Champagne Sparkle Be-bop kit. It sounds so good, it looks so good, it feels so good. It records beautifully and is so small that it's a joy to shlep it to gigs. I love it. Anyway, please post your favorite instruments in the Drawger Axes Show when you have the chance, so we can all ogle... Drawger Poll
