Embassy of the United States, Saigon
The United States Embassy in Saigon was first established in May 1950, and moved into a new building on a more secure compound in 1967. The embassy was the scene of a number of significant events of the Vietnam War, most notably the Viet Cong attack during the Tet Offensive which helped turn American public opinion against the war, and the helicopter evacuation during the Fall of Saigon.
The United States granted recognition to the State of Vietnam led by the Bảo Đại government in 1950, and a U.S. embassy was established in Saigon that year.
Following the Geneva Accords of 1954 and the subsequent partitioning into North Vietnam and South Vietnam, the United States did not extend diplomatic recognition to North Vietnam.
The first U.S. embassy was located at 39 Hàm Nghi Boulevard (10°46′13.82″N 106°42′17.27″E / 10.7705056°N 106.7047972°E) and the original building remains there today.
On 30 March 1965, the Viet Cong detonated a car-bomb outside the embassy, killing one female embassy employee, Barbara Robbins, another American, 19 Vietnamese and one Filipino and injuring 183 other people.
Due to security concerns following the 1965 bombing, it was decided that a new embassy with greater protection would be constructed. The site selected was a 3.18-acre (12,900 m2) site known as the Norodom Compound at No 4 Thong Nhut (now Le Duan) Boulevard at the corner of Thong Nhut and Mac Dinh Chi Street (10°46′58.72″N 106°42′2.56″E / 10.7829778°N 106.7007111°E). The embassy was next door to the French embassy, opposite the British embassy and located near to the Presidential Palace (now the Reunification Palace).
The embassy comprised two separate compounds, a consular compound sealed off by a separate wall and steel gate and the embassy compound with the Embassy Chancery building, behind it was a parking lot, a two-story villa used as a residence by the Mission Coordinator (a civilian assistant to the United States Ambassador to South Vietnam), a motor pool and other facilities.[1] There were two entry gates, a pedestrian entrance on Thong Nhut Boulevard and a vehicle entrance on Mac Dinh Chi Street.
The new Chancery was a distinctive six-story white concrete building, with a concrete lattice facade that served to both cool the building and deflect rockets and other projectiles. A small helipad was located on the roof. A concrete awning extended from the Chancery out over the pedestrian entrance on Thong Nhut Boulevard.
The Chancery was one of the tallest buildings in Saigon at the time of its construction. The embassy was opened in September 1967. Construction of the embassy cost US$2.6M.
The old embassy on Hàm Nghi Boulevard remained in use as an embassy annex.
Tet Offensive[edit]
On 15 December 1967, as a sign of their confidence in the Vietnamese military, U.S. forces turned over responsibility for the defence of Saigon to the ARVN; henceforth, U.S. forces would only be responsible for defending themselves and their facilities in the city. On the night of 30 January 1968, four Vietnamese police posts provided an outer line of defence for the embassy. Two military policemen from the 716th MP Battalion[2] part of the 18th Military Police Brigade guarded the vehicle entrance on Mac Dinh Chi Street, inside the Chancery building two U.S. Marines of the Marine Security Guard occupied a guard post and, due to the heightened security situation following the cancellation of the Tet truce, another Marine was stationed on the roof of the Chancery building.[3]
Shortly after midnight on 31 January 1968, 19 Viet Cong sappers from the elite C-10 Sapper Battalion gathered at a Viet Cong safe house in a car repair shop at 59 Phan Thanh Gian Street to distribute weapons and conduct final preparations for the attack. The unit set off in a small truck and a taxi towards central Saigon. As the vehicles came down Mac Dinh Chi Street with their lights off after curfew, they were spotted by a Vietnamese police guard post north of the embassy, but rather than trying to stop the vehicles, the police instead took cover.
As the taxi turned from Mac Dinh Chi Street onto Thong Nhut Boulevard, the occupants opened fired on the two MPs guarding the night gate. The MPs, SP4 Charles L Daniel and PFC William E Sebast, returned fire, closed and locked the steel gate and radioed that they were under attack.
Hearing the firing on the side gate, Marine Sergeant Ronald W. Harper, who was in the rear of the embassy compound, ran back into the rear door of the Chancery across the lobby past Marine Corporal George B Zahuranic, who was calling for help. Harper pulled a Vietnamese night watchman into the building and closed and bolted the heavy teak doors to the Chancery.[4]
Minutes later at 02:47 hours, the Viet Cong blew a small hole in the perimeter wall on Thong Nhut Boulevard and gained access to the embassy compound. The first two Viet Cong that crawled through the hole and into the grounds were shot and killed by SP4 Daniel and PFC Sebast in their guard post at the Mac Dinh Chi Street entrance. Daniel radioed "They're coming in! They're coming in! Help me! Help me!" before the radio went silent. Daniel[5] and Sebast[6] were themselves shot and killed by the Viet Cong.
On the Chancery roof, Marine Sergeant Rudy A. Soto Jr saw the Viet Cong sappers coming through the wall and tried to fire on them with his 12-gauge shotgun which jammed after a few rounds. He then emptied his .38 caliber revolver at the hole, but such fire was unlikely to be effective at that height and range. Inside the embassy, the Viet Cong opened fire on the Chancery building with Type 56 assault rifles and B-40 rocket-propelled grenades. Several RPGs penetrated the walls of the Chancery, wounding Corporal Zahuranic and destroying the two radio sets in the guard post. Sergeant Soto tried unsuccessfully to contact the lobby guard post and, assuming that Harper and Zahuranic were dead, he called for assistance and waited for the Viet Cong to reach him.[7]
In the villa at the rear of the embassy compound, Colonel George Jacobson, the Mission Coordinator, was awakened by the firing; searching for a weapon, he found a single M26 grenade.[8]
An MP jeep patrol responded to the calls for help from Daniel and Sebast but as they approached the embassy they were met by automatic weapons fire from the Viet Cong that were outside the wall, killing Sergeant Johnie B Thomas[9] and SFC Owen E Mebust.[10]
In addition to the three Marines, there were two Vietnamese and six American civilians inside the Chancery building at the time of the attack. The Americans armed themselves with .38 revolvers, Beretta M12 submachine guns and a shotgun and waited for the Viet Cong to come inside.[11]
Outside in the embassy grounds, the Viet Cong were unsure of their next move as both of the sapper team's leaders, Bay Tuyen and Ut Nho, had both been killed early in the attack by Daniel and Sebast after they entered the embassy grounds. The Viet Cong were armed with more than 40 pounds of C-4 explosive and could easily have blasted their way into the Chancery had they been ordered to do so. Instead they took positions in or near the circular planters around the Chancery and returned fire at the growing numbers of Americans shooting at them.[12]
At the Marine Guards' living quarters five blocks from the embassy, Captain Robert J. O'Brien organised the remaining Marines of the Marine Security Guard detachment into quick reaction teams and headed to the embassy. As they approached the side gate on Mac Dinh Chi Street, they found it locked and could see Viet Cong inside the grounds, calling out to the MPs they were answered with fire from the Viet Cong and withdrew to firing positions further down the street and laid fire on the embassy gardens.[13]
At around 04:00, Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker, through an aide, contacted the head of Saigon police, Lieutenant Nguyen Van Luan to ask for police reinforcements for the embassy. The First Precinct police commanding officer refused to move his men in the dark and instead asked the Americans to escort his men to the embassy.[14] The Vietnamese police proved to have been worthless in defending the embassy with all policemen abandoning their posts when the firing began.[15]
At 04:20, General William Westmoreland ordered the 716th MP Battalion to clear the embassy as their first priority. Lacking armored vehicles and helicopters, the MPs moved in more troops to cordon off the Embassy.[16] The tactical situation was confused by darkness and the poor communications within the Chancery and between the Chancery and the MPs and Marines outside the Embassy compound. Sergeant Harper and the other Americans inside the Chancery could communicate with the outside by telephone, while Sergeant Soto on the roof only had a radio.[17]
Marine Corporal James C. Marshall climbed the roof of a small building in the Consular compound and was firing on Viet Cong in the Embassy compound, when he was hit by a rocket fragment he remained in place firing on the Viet Cong until he was shot and killed,[18] he would be the last American killed at the Embassy that day.[16]
At 05:00, a helicopter carrying troops from the 101st Airborne Division attempted to land on the rootop helipad but was driven off by fire from the surviving Viet Cong in the Embassy grounds. At 06:15, a medevac helicopter landed on the roof picked up Corporal Zahuranic and dropped off three cases of M16 rifle ammunition, however none of the Americans in the Chancery had an M16 and so this resupply was useless.[19]
As dawn broke on the morning of 31 January, the hole that the Viet Cong had blown in the wall to gain access to the Embassy compound was located. At the same time, MPs had finally managed to shoot off the locks of the front gate on Thong Nhut Boulevard and rammed the gates open with a jeep. The MPs and Marines charged through the open gate into the Embassy grounds and within a few minutes, they easily killed all of the few surviving Viet Cong for most of them by then were already dead or dying in the Embassy garden from the prolonged firefight. At the same time, a helicopter carrying troops from the 101st Airborne Division landed on the roof and proceeded to sweep the Chancery building, finding no Viet Cong inside.[20]
In his villa, Colonel Jacobson heard movement downstairs; he threw down his grenade and called out to the MPs in the grounds to throw him up a weapon. The MPs threw up an M1911 Colt pistol and a gas mask to Jacobson, CS gas grenades were then thrown by the MPs through the ground floor windows and Jacobson proceeded to shoot a wounded Viet Cong as he came upstairs.
By 09:00, the Embassy was declared secure. Of the 19 Viet Cong fighters that attacked the building, 18 had been killed and one wounded fighter was captured.
The first news reports of the Embassy attack were sent by the Associated Press at 03:15 based on fragmentary information, a later report stated that 3 Viet Cong had entered the Embassy ground.[21] The news reports from the Embassy reflected the confused tactical situation. At 07:25 the associated press carried a story stating that the Viet Cong had seized part of the first floor of the Embassy building and that U.S. forces were being held back by fire from the Embassy building. This report was picked up by NBC news who, on the 6:30pm EST Huntley-Brinkley Report, broadcast that the Viet Cong occupied the first floor of the Embassy building and that U.S. forces were in the Embassy grounds exchanging fire with them.[22] Later news reports corrected the facts of the attack, but the initial reports had shocked the American public.
While the Embassy attack (like much of the Tet Offensive) was tactically insignificant, it had a profound political and psychological impact. The United States had been fighting in Vietnam for over two-and-a-half years, 20,000 Americans had been killed and despite the presence of nearly 500,000 U.S. troops in Vietnam, the Viet Cong had managed to penetrate the U.S. Embassy, sovereign U.S. territory and the symbol of American power.
On 4 November 1968 Ambassador Bunker presented a scroll of appreciation to LTC Tyler H. Fletcher, Commanding Officer of the 716th Military Police Battalion for their role in defending the Embassy. Ambassador Bunker also dedicated a plaque in the Chancery lobby commemorating the 4 MPs and 1 Marine who died defending the Embassy.[2]
A fire-bomb attack on the Embassy took place on 18 February 1971.
Fall of Saigon and Operation Frequent Wind[edit]
On 12 April 1975, the 9th Marine Amphibious Brigade (MAB), which was to supply helicopters and a security force for the evacuation, sent a delegation to consult with Ambassador Graham Martin on current plans. Ambassador Martin told them that he would not tolerate any outward signs that the United States intended to abandon South Vietnam. All planning would have to be conducted with the utmost discretion. Brigadier General Richard E. Carey, commander of the 9th Marine Amphibious Brigade (9th MAB), flew to Saigon the next day to see Ambassador Martin, he later said that 'The visit was cold, non-productive and appeared to be an irritant to the Ambassador'.[23]
On 25 April, 40 Marines from the 9th MAB on the USS Hancock (CV-19) were flown in by Air America helicopters in civilian clothes to the DAO Compound to augment the 18 Marine Security Guards assigned to defend the Embassy, an additional 6 Marines were assigned to protect Ambassador Martin.
Ambassador Martin remained optimistic that a negotiated settlement could be reached whereby the United States would not have to pull out of South Vietnam and, in an effort to avert defeatism and panic he specifically instructed Major James Kean, Commanding Officer of the Marine Security Guard Battalion and Ground Support Force Commander United States Embassy Compound, that he could not begin to remove trees and shrubbery which prevented the use of the Embassy parking lot as a helicopter Landing Zone.[24]
On 28 April at 18:00 Tan Son Nhut Airport was bombed by 3 A-37 Dragonflys piloted by former VNAF pilots who had defected to the Vietnamese People's Air Force at the fall of Da Nang. Sporadic PAVN rocket and artillery attacks also started to hit the airport, increasing to 40 rounds per hour by 04:00 on 29 April.
At 07:00, Major General Homer D Smith Jr, the senior Defence Attache advised Ambassador Martin that fixed wing evacuations should cease and that Operation Frequent Wind, the helicopter evacuation of U.S. personnel and at-risk Vietnamese should commence. Ambassador Martin refused to accept General Smith's recommendation and instead insisted on visiting Tan Son Nhut to survey the situation for himself. Finally at 10:51 the order was given to commence Operation Frequent Wind, however due to confusion in the chain of command General Carey did not receive the execute order until 12:15.[25]
The two major evacuation points chosen for Operation Frequent Wind were the DAO Compound adjacent to Tan Son Nhut Airport for American civilian and Vietnamese evacuees and the Embassy for Embassy staff.[26]
By the morning of 29 April it was estimated that approximately 10,000 people had gathered around the Embassy, while some 2500 evacuees were in the embassy and consular compounds. From 10:00 to 12:00 Major Kean and his Marines cut down trees and moved vehicles to create an LZ in the embassy parking lot behind the Chancery building. Two LZs were now available in the embassy compound, the rooftop for UH-1s and CH-46 Sea Knights and the new parking lot LZ for the heavier CH-53s.[27]
Air America UH-1s began ferrying evacuees from other smaller assembly points throughout the city (including the Pittman Building, famously photographed by Hubert van Es) and dropping them on the embassy's rooftop LZ.
At 15:00 the first CH-53s were sighted heading towards the DAO Compound at Tan Son Nhut. Major Kean contacted the Seventh Fleet to advise them of his airlift requirements, until that time the fleet believed that all evacuees had been bussed from the embassy to the DAO Compound and that only 2 helicopters would be required to evacuate the Ambassador and the Marines from the embassy.[28]
At 17:00 the first CH-46 landed at the embassy.
Between 19:00 and 21:00 on 29 April approximately 130 additional Marines from 2nd Battalion 4th Marines were lifted from the DAO Compound to reinforce perimeter security at the embassy,[29] bringing the total number of Marines at the Embassy to 175.[26]
The evacuation from the DAO Compound was completed by about 19:00 after which all helicopters would be routed to the embassy, however Major Kean was informed that operations would cease at dark. Major Kean advised that the LZ would be well lit and had vehicles moved around the parking lot LZ with their engines running and headlights on to illuminate the LZ.[28]
At 21:30 a CH-53 pilot informed Major Kean that the Admiral Whitmire, Commander of Task Force 76 had ordered that operations cease at 23:00. Major Kean saw Ambassador Martin to request that he contact the Oval Office to ensure that the airlift continued. Ambassador Martin soon sent word back to Major Kean that sorties would continue to be flown.[28] At the same time, General Carey met with Admiral Whitmire to convince him to resume flights to the embassy despite pilot weariness and poor visibility caused by darkness, fires and bad weather.[30]
By 02:15 one CH-46 and one CH-53 were landing at the embassy every 10 minutes at this time the embassy indicated that another 19 lifts would complete the evacuation.[31] At that time Major Kean estimated that there were still some 850 non-American evacuees and 225 Americans (including the Marines), Ambassador Martin told Major Kean to do the best he could.[32]
At 03:00 on 30 April, Ambassador Martin ordered Major Kean to move all the remaining evacuees into the parking lot LZ which was the Marines' final perimeter.[32]
At 03:27 President Gerald Ford ordered that no more than 19 additional lifts be allowed to complete the evacuation.[33]
At 04:30 with the 19 lift limit already exceeded, Major Kean went to the rooftop LZ and spoke over a helicopter radio with General Carey who advised that President Ford had ordered that the airlift be limited to U.S. personnel and General Carey, Commanding General, 9th MAB, ordered Major Kean to withdraw his men into the Chancery building and withdraw to the rooftop LZ for evacuation.[32]
Major Kean returned the ground floor of the Chancery and ordered his men to withdraw into a large semicircle at the main entrance to the Chancery. Most of the Marines were inside the Chancery when the crowds outside the embassy broke through the gates into the compound. The Marines closed and bolted the Chancery door, the elevators were locked by Seabees on the 6th floor and the Marines withdrew up the stairwells locking grill gates behind them. On the ground floor a water tanker was driven through the Chancery door and the crowd began to surge up through the building toward the rooftop. The Marines on the rooftop had sealed the doors to the rooftop and were using mace to discourage the crowd from trying to break through. Sporadic gunfire from around the Embassy passed over the rooftop.[34]
At 04:58 Ambassador Graham Martin boarded a USMC CH-46 Sea Knight, call-sign "Lady Ace 09" of HMM-165 and was flown to the USS Blue Ridge (LCC-19). When Lady Ace 09 transmitted "Tiger is out", those helicopters still flying, thought the mission was complete, thereby delaying the evacuation to the Marines from the embassy rooftop.[33]
CH-46s evacuated the Battalion Landing Team by 07:00 and after an anxious wait a lone CH-46 "Swift 2-2" of HMM-164[33] arrived to evacuate Major Kean and the 10 remaining men of the Marine Security Guards, this last helicopter took off at 07:53 on 30 April and landed on USS Okinawa (LPH-3) at 09:30.[35] At 11:30 PAVN tanks smashed through the gates of the Presidential Palace (now the Reunification Palace) and raised the National Liberation Front for South Vietnam (NLF) flag over the building; the Vietnam War was over.
Marine pilots accumulated 1,054 flight hours and flew 682 sorties throughout Operation Frequent Wind, evacuating 5,000 from Tan Son Nhut and 978 U.S. and 1,120 Vietnamese and third-country nationals from the Embassy.[36] Some 400 evacuees were left behind at the Embassy including over 100 South Korean citizens.
Lady Ace 09, CH-46 serial number 154803 is now on display at the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum in San Diego, California.
North Vietnamese troops as well as intelligence and army officials scoured the abandoned Embassy shortly after taking Saigon on the afternoon of April 30. Over the next several days, they apparently were able to piece together classified documents that had been shredded but not burnt and used these to track down South Vietnamese employees of the Central Intelligence Agency.
The embassy was used as the offices of the local oil company, PetroVietnam, throughout the 1980s.
1995 to present[edit]
Following the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and Vietnam, a new U.S. embassy was opened in Hanoi in 1995 and the site of the former U.S. Embassy in Saigon was handed back to the U.S. government.
It was decided that the former U.S. Embassy building was unusable after more than 20 years of neglect in Vietnam's tropical climate,[37] but it also seems likely that the history of the building itself carried such negative connotations that it did not fit with the new U.S.–Vietnam relationship. The former U.S. Embassy was demolished in May–July 1998 and the new Consulate-General of the United States in Ho Chi Minh City was built on the old consular compound adjacent to the old Embassy site.[38]
During the demolition of the embassy the ladder leading from the embassy rooftop to the helipad was removed and sent back to the United States, where it is now on display at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum.[39][40]
Some visible remnants of the old embassy remain, most notably the large round concrete planters which sat in front of the embassy and were used as firing positions by the Viet Cong during the Tet Offensive attack. The footprint of the old embassy building can still be seen from above, the site is now a park for Consulate staff.
On 14 November 2002, a dedication ceremony was held for the replacement plaque commemorating the U.S. Marine guard and the 4 MPs who were killed defending the embassy.[41] The original plaque was left at the embassy during the Fall of Saigon and was subsequently on display at the War Remnants Museum before disappearing[42]

Medical marijuana law signed, next step dispensaries
New York - New York is now the 23rd state to legalize medical marijuana for certain medical purposes.
On Monday, Governor Cuomo signed the Compassionate Care Act, allowing for 20 dispensaries to be opened around the state.
One dispensary is likely to be opened in Rochester.
"It will likely take over a year and a half to get this thing underway," said Dr. Bruce Bedrick. He operates a consulting and technology firm, which has helped to open dispensaries in several states.
Since it is not legal in all states, medical marijuana cannot be transported across state lines. The Compassionate Care act calls for it to be grown here, the products made and dispensed here.
In Colorado dispensaries, marijuana is grown under lights, harvested, dried and displayed in open jars, making dispensaries a one-stop shop.
New York has the most restrictive law in the nation, which will make dispensaries here look very different.
"They will look very similar to physician's offices - middle to upscale-very professional-looking dispensaries that are very securitized and safe," said Dr.Bedrick.
He offered photos and a video tape of a secure dispensary called Medbox, which is already in use in other states. It is software controlled and may also use fingerprint biometric technology to ensure a patient ID has not been stolen or being used by someone else.
Medbox sits behind a counter and is used by a pharmaceutical tech to dispense sealed packages of the drug.
"It will basically have the ratings system of a safe," he said. "It is the safest, most secure, most legally compliant way to store, inventory control, and dispense prescription medical marijuana."
Medical insurance will not cover purchases and transactions will likely be cash-only. That's because there is no federal law allowing for medical marijuana and since banks are federally licensed, using a check or credit card could create legal troubles.
New York has yet to choose the four companies that will operate the dispensaries, yet Dr.Bedrick's website advertises a future presence here. Asked about that he declined to offer specifics other than to say he is "absolutely" interested in being involved in NY's process.

RealD Appoints Minard Hamilton As Executive Vice-President, Mobile And Consumer
RealD Inc. (NYSE: RLD), a leading global licensor of 3D technologies, today announced the appointment of Minard Hamilton as Executive Vice-President, Mobile and Consumer. He assumes direct responsibility for commercializing RealD's visual technologies for consumer electronics applications. Hamilton brings a wealth of experience in the digital media industry to RealD, with particular expertise in developing new business models, technology licensing, partnerships and business development.
Hamilton joins RealD from Six Degree Games, where he served as Chief Executive Officer for the publisher of online and mobile games in partnership with major sports brands including the NBA, MLB.com, the NFL Players Association and ESPN.
Michael V. Lewis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of RealD, commented, "Minard has a proven track record for creating new revenue streams through technology licensing and innovative partnerships.

These strategic partnerships enabled the company to grow from a pre-revenue startup when Hamilton joined the company in 2001 to its eventual sale to Electronic Arts for $684 million in 2006. By the time of the acquisition, JAMDAT had become the industry's leading publisher of mobile games.Earlier in his career, Hamilton served as Senior Vice President, ESPN International and General Manager, ESPN.com International. His accomplishments at ESPN include launching seven new television networks, supervising the acquisition and scheduling of programming for 15 television networks, and establishing ESPN's Internet presence overseas by launching ESPN's first local websites in Latin America, Europe and Asia.

In the first policy announcement of his mayoral term, London's newly elected Boris Johnson has banned the consumption of alcohol on all public transport—including buses and trains—in the capital city beginning June 1. The ordinance is criticized by many transport unions, which foresee serious problems in its enforcement.
The Guardian:
Boris Johnson, the new London mayor, made his first policy announcement today - banning the consumption of alcohol on all public transport in the capital from June 1.
However, the move immediately drew criticism from transport unions claiming the policy could endanger transport staff.
From next month anyone found drinking or carrying open alcohol containers on any of London's buses, tube trains, trams or the Docklands Light Railway is liable to be ejected. If the offender resists, the British Transport police can be called to help remove them.
But transport unions say they were not consulted on the ban or its enforcement and it is their members who will be put in the firing line.
We're not in Europe anymore: In a controversial move, newly elected Mayor Boris Johnson has banned alcohol on all London public transport.

I just don't want Appel. I got a bad feeling about him. I would like a pitcher so I hope gausman but hard to pass up buxton. Correa would be a nice pick if we didn't waste last years on micheal. It just doesn't make sense if you plan on them both panning out. You can't move one to 2B with Rosario looking like he will be moving up fairly fast.
I'm with you, really bad feeling about Appel. Even if he is ok I see his ceiling as Luke Hochevar, not terrible but not worth a #1 or #2 overall pick.

I think that every single mock from the "Big Boys" out there has Appel going to Houston and Buxton to the Twins.
Meanwhile, Carlos Corea is leaving on a jet plane to MN to have a second private workout with the Twins this weekend. Read to that whatever you want... My take is that if he is able to sign for somethink like $5-5.5 instead of the alloted $6.2M, the Twins have a huge win, spending the extra in later picks
Yeah, I think signability will factor a lot into the Twins thinking. Another name to watch for the Twins at 32/42 would be Pierce Johnson. He had some minor arm issues this year but should be a fast to the majors type with modest (#3) upside but likely to reach it. Sorta like what we thought we'd get with Wimmers.

Posted 02 June 2012 - 06:39 AM
maybe I am missing something becauase i have read a ton of scouting reports about Carlos Correa and I don't see anything special with him. He likely will end up at 3rd base and seems like a reach to me. There is nothing that he does that is exceptional and most drafts he would lucky to be a top 10 pick. I agree signability could be a factor with the pick and it shouldn't be. They should take whoever they feel will be the best player regardless of their price. For my money if you are looking for pure upside you take Buxton without giving it another thought. If you are looking for someone likely to reach their upside and bring something the twins org doesn't have and that is velo from a starter than the pick should be Gausman. In my mind the 2 choices that make sense to me are Buxton or Gausman.
I think you're selling Correa's upside short. He's been compared to Tulo. Here's Mayo's write up on him "Defensively, Correa is above average across the board -- range, arm and actions -- leaving no question about his ability to stay at short. He can swing the bat, too, with the potential to be an above-average hitter with outstanding power." Sickels wrote: "Excellent hitter, yet chronologically young for his class. Even if he moves to third base, he's elite. Stellar makeup." Goldstein wrote "A big athletic shortstop with remarkable presence at the plate, quick hands, outstanding bat control and the potential for plus power. He's a plus runner who is graceful in the field and has one of the best infielder arms in the draft. The only concern is with his size, as he's already 6-foot-3 and approaching 200 pounds, but he has more than enough ability to be a star at third base as well, and one scout believes he'd actually get to the big leagues quicker at that position." Both Sickels and Goldstein rank him #1 in this draft.
Additionally, if you could get Correa for 4.5-5 million, you could use that extra million to sign some hard to sign players later in the draft. That said, I'd be happy with any of the names that have been branded about at #2.

So, if we passed on Appel or Gausman, where is the pitching going to come from for this team while we wait 6 years for Correa or Buxton to move up the minors? Taking the high upside guy pretty much means we are going to be a 100+ loss team for quite some time.
No one is a sure thing but, yeah, Correa and Buxton are higher risk than others. Then again, how would we feel if we took Gausman at #2 and then his arm fell off while Correa goes on to become a multiple all-star? I'm also not sure it would take 6 years for Buxton/Correa to make the majors. Both of them would probably be a good fit in the upcoming Sano nucleus.
There are other places to get pitching. The Twins could take Brown and Pierce Johnson in the supplemental round. Both are solid pitching prospects, Johnson would be fairly quick to the majors. The Twins will also have a high pick in next years draft as well, so could get pitching there. Finally, they have money to spend on a free agent (yeah, probably not likely but it is a resource they have). I think the team is far enough away that they could take any of these five guys (Buxton, Correa and the three pitchers) and I'd be happy about it. My guess is the Twins take Buxton unless 1) Houston does or 2) Correa agrees to an underslot signing. If Houston takes Buxton and Correa and the Twins don't come to an agreement, I think they'll take Appel/Zimmer, whichever one they have ranked higher. And a draft of, say, Appel/Brown/Johnson would be pretty exciting.

Everybody labels Appel, Gausman, and Zimmer as possible #2s or #3s. I know that there are very few true #1s but I was just wondering what everyone in our rotation is and what Wimmers and Gibson and any other pitching prospects project as. Thanks!
Probably depends on your definition of the numbers. I found this on baseball examiner. Baseball prospectus and america both have similar rankings but you need a subscription, I believe.
#1 Starter: Two plus pitches, average third pitch, plus-plus command, plus makeup
#2 Starter: Two plus pitches, average third pitch, average command, average makeup
#3 Starter: One plus pitch, two average pitches, average command, average makeup
#4 & #5 starters: Average velocity, consistent breaking ball, decent changeup, command of two of the pitches.
A plus is a 60 or better, avg is 50, plus plus is 70. Makeup is focus, intensity, etc.
All three guys - Appel, Zimmer and Gausman - could become #1 pitchers. I think the knock on them all has been it's not as likely to happen for them as it was for, say, Verlander. Gibson, I think, has one plus pitch and a couple close to plus (55s) so we'll see. He could be a #2 or #3. Keep in mind, before he was hurt, he was likely to go in the top 10 of a pretty solid draft. I have no idea on Wimmers. His change up is supposed to be plus but he's command and now his injury ...

Gibson is a #2 ceiling but more than likely #3, Wimmers will be a #3 tops. The only one we have that has ace potential is Liriano but that hasn't quite happened. An ace should be dominant with lots of Ks, really an ace should have the potential to have a shut out at any time, anyone who is a pitch to contact pitcher can't be relied on as an ace. The only true Ace we have had in the past 20 years has been Santana, Radke doesn't count.
Posted 02 June 2012 - 11:57 AM
Posted 02 June 2012 - 12:06 PM
Doesn't the fact that Scott Boras represent Mark Appel pretty much rule him out at #2 if Houston passes on him?
No it doesn't

That's not really true. Glavine, Maddux, Halladay, Lee all had cy young seasons/careers without many strike outs. Radke, while not an ace, had as many 5 war seasons as Beckett and Lackey combined.

If the Twins take Buxton or Correa the plan will be more like Hicks than Sano as I believe they won't sign until the end so won't get much if any play in 2012. So the schedule likely would be if things go right is;
2013 Elizabethton
2014 Beloit
2017 Roch/Twins
Could be longer if there is injuries and could be a half a year to a year shorter if they excel. Can't compare him to Mauer as both Buxton and Correa are raw and projects with high upside.
I think every complaint you had could have been used on Mauer. Cold weather player, not sure how he'd do against better competition. Still growing into his body. Also, the signing deadline was moved up to mid July this year so anyone that signs should get some time in the minors this year (although they might let some pitchers rest due to high number of college innings).

Lewis: Giants win when it's least expected
|New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning #10 hands the ball off to De'Rel Scott #33 the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium during an NFL game in Dallas, Texas on Sunday, Sept. 8, 2013. (AP Photo/Layne Murdoch)
One thing we know for sure about the NFL is that it is, obviously, a bottom-line business. They aren't asking at NFL headquarters on Park Avenue how you won by, just if you won.
By that measure, the Patriots are 2-0 and among the Super Bowl favorites. Our eyes tell us differently, of course, but the standings are what they are.
Similarly, Eli Manning and the Giants couldn't have been much worse in their opener a week ago in Dallas. Eli, for crying out loud, threw two interceptions on screen passes. You could go a whole season and not see that happen once, but Eli did it two times, each more baffling than the other.
Still, for all the turnovers and gosh-awful play, the Giants had a slight chance to yank a victory away from the Cowboys in the fourth quarter. They didn't, so that makes today's game against the Broncos (and brother Peyton) more important.
There will be much talk today about whether Peyton might play again in MetLife Stadium (hint: that game would be in February), and judging by his Week 1 performance it's difficult to argue that. Seven touchdown passes tends to get everyone's attention.
The results dynamic between the Manning brothers is fascinating in that the older QB (Peyton) is a four-time MVP while the younger QB (Eli) often looks confused, drops the ball a lot, but has two Super Bowl rings, one more than his kin.
Denver comes into today's game as a solid betting favorite, but this is usually the type of game when the Giants exceed expectations. When everyone thinks they will lose, they don't.
The pick: Giants (+3 1/2).
Elsewhere around the NFL, with several interesting games on the schedule:
49ers (+3) over Seahawks: Line means Vegas has this as an even game, despite it being in Seattle, and that's probably right. Either of these teams in the Super Bowl would not be a surprise, but maybe the Niners get a slight road edge.
Redskins (+7 1/2) over Packers: Granted, Green Bay drew a tough opener (at San Francisco), and yes, the Redskins looked sluggish in wild opening loss to Eagles. But that's a bunch of points to give RGIII.
Cowboys (+3) over Chiefs: Dallas got six turnovers and barely won. An interesting test.
Eagles (-7) over Chargers: San Diego in midseason form blowing big lead against Texans, while Philly captivated league with fast-paced offense.
Falcons (-6 1/2) over Rams: Homestanding Falcons stroll to win.
Vikings (+5 1/2) over Bears: If Minnesota gets a rush on Jay Cutler, well, it could get ugly.
Saints (-3) over Bucs: Tampa should have won last week except for late penalty. Bucs get Pats next week.
Colts (-2) over Dolphins: Indy has won seven straight at home. Make it eight.
Titans (+9 1/2) over Texas: Houston had to rally to win late Monday, but it was against Chargers so that was almost expected.
Bengals (-7) over Steelers: I may not know much about football, but I do know you usually need to score more than two points to win.
Ravens (-6 1/2) over Browns: Safest bet of day is that Baltimore won't allow seven passing touchdowns against Cleveland.
Cardinals (+1) over Lions: Hard to believe Detroit is road favorite.
Panthers (-3) over Bills: Buffalo should have won against Pats, but ...
Raiders (-5 1/2) over Jaguars: Games like this are a good test of Red Zone Channel.

UK economy shrinks anew, flirts with "triple dip"
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By David Milliken and Olesya Dmitracova | January 25, 2013 9:28 PM EST
Britain's economy shrank more than expected at the end of 2012 with a slump in North Sea oil production, lower factory output and a hangover from the London Olympics pushing it perilously close to a "triple-dip" recession.
Britain's gross domestic product fell 0.3 percent in the fourth quarter, the Office for National Statistics said on Friday, a sharper fall than the 0.1 percent decline seen by analysts.
The news is a blow for Britain's Conservative-led government, which only a day earlier defended its austerity program against criticism from the International Monetary Fund and needs solid growth to ensure it meets budget targets and keeps its triple-A debt rating.
Sterling fell to its lowest in 13-1/2 months against the euro and hit a five-month low against the dollar in response while British government bonds reversed losses.
The euro was also buoyed by a stronger-than-expected German Ifo sentiment survey.
"This is a very disappointing outturn," said Philip Shaw, economist at Investec in London. "Clearly now the talk will focus on whether we are in a triple dip recession. Certainly the news is unwanted."
Britain's economy is now 3.3 percent smaller than its peak in Q1 2008, having recovered only about half the output lost during the financial crisis -- a worse performance than most other major economies.
The country slipped back into recession in the last three months of 2011, and only emerged from it in the third quarter of 2012, after a boost from the London Olympics.
After a bout of inclement snowy weather in January -- which is likely to have hit spending and output -- the risk is that the economy will continue to shrink in the first three months of this year, technically pushing it into a rare and unwelcome "triple dip" recession.
Britain's biggest department store group, John Lewis
In economic terms, the picture remains an unchanged one of stagnation over the past year. But politically, the latest dip in national output is more incendiary.
Finance minister George Osborne stuck fast to his austerity plan on Thursday, rejecting suggestions the International Monetary Fund's chief economist that he should consider slowing his deficit reduction plan.
Prime Minister David Cameron this week staked his political future on offering a referendum on Britain's place in the European Union. But it is Osborne's gamble that austerity will deliver strong growth before a 2015 election that will be crucial in determining his Conservative party's chance of winning.
After the figures were released, the Treasury conceded that Britain still faced a "very difficult economic situation".
"While the economy is healing, it is still a difficult road," it said in a statement.
Britain's chief central banker Mervyn King expects no more than a "gentle recovery" this year, while this week the IMF cut its 2013 forecast for British economic growth to 1.0 percent from 1.1 percent predicted in October.
However economists and business groups warn that even such lackluster growth could be derailed by a hit to firms' and consumers' confidence from talk of a triple-dip recession.
That prospect will also add to pressure on the ruling coalition of Conservatives and Liberal Democrats to loosen its deficit-cutting drive and bolster the economy as finance minister George Osborne prepares his 2013 budget, due in March.
The biggest driver for the fourth-quarter fall in GDP was a 10.2 percent drop in mining and quarrying output, the biggest since records began in 1997, driven by disruption from extended maintenance affecting North Sea oil and gas fields.
This knocked 0.18 percent off GDP, while slightly smaller amounts of damage were done by falls in factory output and in the 'government and other services' category, where the Olympics had boosted sports and recreation services in the third quarter.
Friday's figures showed that output in Britain's service sector - which makes up more than three quarters of GDP - was flat in the fourth quarter after rising 1.2 percent in the third. Industrial output was 1.8 percent lower, while construction - which accounts for less than 7 percent of GDP - grew by 0.3 percent.

I'd say avoid at all costs and get fixed desktops in each room instead. In my experience laptops travelling from room to room get damaged easier, are more difficult to repair and more costly, and generally are a pain.
Greetings, all.
Just coming to the end of a trial of some laptops for teaching staff. Our plan is to get staff to carry them from room to room using docking stations to connect to fixed hardware (network, projectors and the like). Proper docking stations, mind, rather than little USB jobs...
I need to get some feedback from the staff involved in the trial but I wondered if anyone out there in EduGeek land had some pearls of wisdom over the use of laptops by teachers in school, as opposed to fixed desktops?
All comments gratefully received - have a good weekend,
I'd say avoid at all costs and get fixed desktops in each room instead. In my experience laptops travelling from room to room get damaged easier, are more difficult to repair and more costly, and generally are a pain.
We used to have laptops but changed them all for desktops. Things where cheaper and much more reliable. Staff would forget laptops, break them, drop them. If they where sick we needed spares for supply staff etc. Things are much better now and we save a packet.
Hi. Studies show that the TCO of laptops is much higher than desktops. I'm a fan of either in the right circumstances and only you can determine that. Let's hope for more input from edugeekers as this is a hot topic not only for staff use but also pupil use. Best, Col
As with others I'd steer clear.
Unless you are working in a mandatory laptop for staff scheme. I'm sure you could buy 3 desktops for every 2 laptops with docking stations.
I have found from personal experience, laptops get dropped, lost, stolen, coffee spilt over them, power supplies will get lost or forgotten, batteries will be likely to fail, will be miss-used by family members etc. etc
Although SMT laying down and enforcing any use policies may lessen the lack of care that a few users seem to have.

VeryPC_Colin_M any links to particular papers regarding that?
My Head likes the teachers having laptops because they are more likely to do work at home with them. Sadly my staff are a careless bunch and it costs on average a few hundred a month just to fix the things.
If it were me teachers have their own laptops fine but i'd have a desktop in every room anyway it saves grief with:
Damaged cables
Whiteboard not working
Projector not working (dual screens not setup)
Calibrating whiteboards
MIS software updates
Stuff like that with one desktop in each room for a teacher you can manage everything then lock the machine down so they can't break it. I've tried the docking thing before and it doesn't end well and also you've then got to make sure every laptop is identical or at least fully compatible, if one gets damaged beyond economical repair and then that model is EOL you're screwed.
So definitely desktops imho
We have laptops- the argument being that the teacher must have a computer and may not have their own. Also, if they use their home computer they may put sensitive data on it.
I buy ICT Directs stonking Lenovo i5 T410s. Reliable, affordable, built like bricks and last forever
I have pointed out that remote access and fixed desktops might be a better idea but...
Just to balance things, we've had staff laptops for over 3 years now and have about 100 in total. I was dreading it, but we've only lost 2 whole laptops in that time. Yes there have been numerous repairs, but not as bad as I was expecting. The number one fault is probably usb ports getting busted, but I just break the port off and make them cope with the remaining ports. They have to lose 2 ports before I change a MB.
Also got so fed up of walking into classrooms and pressing windows key + P, so on the staff laptop image I put a shortcut to batch file on their desktop that forces the duplicate option. It helps reduce it a bit.
Had a busted network port because the plonker kept ramming the whiteboard USB cable into it
We use wall mounted Mac Minis and Logitech wireless keyboards (w/built in trackpad) in every room connected either to a Promethean IWB or a 70" TV with a wall plate controller for source and volume. We also use AirServer to provide AirPlay for iPads and Mac laptops (or Windows laptops running AirParrot). It gives us the best of both worlds so they can either use the school provided computer or AirPlay their own device to the screen.
We started doing this 4 years ago because we had so many problems with Teachers either not being able to reliably figure out how to get the projectors to work with their laptops (setting wrong source, being in extended desktop when they wanted to mirror or vice versa, etc.) or they would damage the connectors (VGA/DVI and sound). It really got quite ridiculous. Now we have nearly zero support requests about the IWBs. We no longer have connectors being damaged, sources set incorrectly, or things otherwise being stuffed up.
You could easily do the same thing using wall mounted NUCs or Mac Minis and using AirServer, Reflector, or Chromecast to also provide teachers the option to wirelessly mirror their device or application to the screen. A much better and more economical solution than laptops with docks in every room.

TBF I get few laptop faults - it is just the cost of brand new ones that burns!

As the holiday season approaches, it is hard to resist the many social cues in our environment telling us to buy! buy! buy! I can recount countless seasons when my mother was besides herself scrambling to get the perfect gifts for each of us in the family. The stress to fulfill the ever growing list for gifts oftentimes overcame the joy that is supposed to be at the root of the holidays. Thankfully, as my siblings and I became older, we decided to put a stop to the incessant gift-giving and instead made a pact to travel every year as a family and spend our time together, which actually is the most important gift of all.
And of course, stores do their part to enhance the likelihood of needless spending during this season. Notice how holiday decorations and music start to play earlier and earlier every year? In fact, as a clever article in the Sunday New York Times shares, "holiday shopping is designed to make you uncomfortable" (Burkeman, 2012). For example, the ever increasing decibel level of music in stores and the repetitive Christmas songs they play all serve to over-stimulate our senses, temporarily undermining our self control and heightening our likelihood for impulse shopping. In other words: the more disoriented you feel in the store, the more you feel compelled to buy! buy! buy!

In reviewing my lists, I noticed that I haven't recommended any Late Harvest wines. What in the world is wrong with me? You must try the 2006 Margan Botrytis Semillon. It is absolute nectar! This very cool, 13-inch tiny cylinder is filled with 375 ml of golden, rich, viscous, delicious juice. Deep concentrated aromas of dried apricots, honey and citrus are beautiful to behold. The mouth is, of course, sweet, with 11 percent residual sugar. Sharp acids shape the fruit on the palate for minutes. The layers of dried fruits perform for you like no other. This is not everyday wine, but what a great gift idea. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Costs about $35.

MIAMI (AP) — The sellout crowd in the Miami Marlins' new ballpark cheered the introduction of their starters, who were accompanied by women dressed as Latin showgirls. There was another roar for Muhammad Ali, who delivered the first pitch.

Lohse held Miami hitless until the seventh inning and pitched into the eighth to help the Cardinals win the first game in Marlins Park, 4-1 Wednesday night.

Silatolu waiting his turn
Midwestern State offensive lineman Amini Silatolu will have to wait until tonight to make history.
The 6-3, 311-pounder was not selected in the first round of Thursday night's NFL Draft, but is expected to go in the today's second round, which begins at 6 p.m.
Whenever he is picked, Silatolu will be the first MSU football player ever drafted.
"He's excited about finding out where he's going to be making his home this year," said Silatolu's agent Bruce Tollner. "A lot of teams have shown interest in him."
Although Tollner thinks Silatolu will be selected in one of tonight's two rounds, he cautioned that, "you never know what's going to happen in this crazy business. But several teams are looking at him."
Silatolu was a consensus All-American for the Mustangs the last two seasons and was a two-time Lone Star Conference Offensive Lineman of the Year.

Daniel Agger says Liverpool's defence must get better if they want to play Champions League football next season.
The Reds are sixth in the Barclays Premier League table following a goalless home draw against Swansea on Saturday.
And the centre-back said Liverpool's back-four were like "headless chickens" at times against the Premier League new boys.
"It is far from good enough," said the Denmark international.
"Everyone was angry and disappointed - some more than others - but that is the way it is.
"If we play like this, we won't do it [qualify for the Champions League]."

Fight over phone fueled fatal Watervliet stabbing
WATERVLIET -- Watervliet Police say the fatal stabbing over the weekend started with a fight over a phone.
It happened just after 4 p.m. on Sunday at 1618 Fifth Avenue.
Investigators say 30-year-old Brandon Burritt and 51-year-old David Hochsprung both shared the apartment where the knife fight took place.
At some point during the afternoon, the pair got into an argument over the phone and ended up stabbing each other several times.
When police arrived at the scene, they found Hochsprung's body upstairs and Burritt on the downstairs landing, alive, with several stab wounds.
Burritt is still in serious condition after undergoing emergency surgery.
At this time, Burritt has not been charged with a crime.
Police are still investigating.

Richard, In your syntax proposal [1] you describe a version of HMAC that differs somewhat from RFC 2104 [2]. As I didn't understand the motivation for the difference, when I filled in the HMAC algorithm section (7.3.1) in the current draft [3] I just pointed to RFC 2104. Could you could explain the motivation for the variant? Thanks, -Mark Bartel JetForm PS I notice that the HMAC version from [1] is the version in IOTP.
