Dayton Moore Will Be Stopping By
Around the Horn in KC is excited to announce that Dayton Moore will be stopping by for a Q&A session with our readers. Anyone can participate, by emailing your question to email@example.com. Dayton will answer the most requested topics and we will post his answers here on the site. If you can sign your emails with your name and city, that would be great!
Also, we probably won't be able to do this on a regular basis, but I wanted to give you a look at tonight's lineup since Joey Gathright has arrived and will be batting ninth and playing center field tonight.
1) Jose Bautista, CF, 2) Jack Wilson, SS, 3) Sean Casey, 1B, 4) Jason Bay, LF, 5) Jeromy Burnitz, RF, 6) Freddy Sanchez, 3B, 7) Joe Randa, DH, 8) Jose Castillo, 2B, 9) Ronny Paulino, C
Pitching – Ian Snell (7-4, 4.71)
1) David DeJesus, LF, 2) Mark Grudzielanek, 2B, 3) Doug Mientkiewicz, 1B, 4) Emil Brown, RF, 5) Matt Stairs, DH, 6) Mark Teahen, 3B, 7) Angel Berroa, SS, 8) Paul Bako, C, 9) Joey Gathright, CF
Pitching – Mike Wood (3-2, 4.69)
It's probably also worth noting that changing center fielders has not been a common occurance in KC history. In fact, the Royals prestigious tradition in center field is nearly unmatched in baseball. Here's a list of the top players in games played at centerfield. After just over a year, David DeJesus already ranks 7th on the list. (By the way, the years, listed are the years they led the club in games in CF).
Games Played in Center Field (CORRECTED)
- Amos Otis (1970-83), 1,793
- Willie Wilson (1984-89), 1,114
- Carlos Beltran (1999-2003), 751
- Brian McRae (1991-94), 606
- Johnny Damon (1996, 98), 405
- Tom Goodwin (1995, 97), 272
- David DeJesus (2004-06), 240
- Bo Jackson (1990), 88
- Bob Oliver (1969), 48
NOTE: Thanks for the great comments on this chart! A couple of our loyal readers mentioned that the original list was wrong for Amos Otis. For some reason, the original information from Stats, Inc. left off A.O.'s first 2 seasons, which accounted for 303 games in center field. For those wondering, Otis played 12 games in left and 42 in right during his career in KC, while Wilson played 635 in left and 9 in right.

Hey Glass,
Sell the team.
Brian McRae is missing from the list.
And yes, Mr. Glass, please sell the team.
Gathright makes the whole outfield look better now and in the future. Before we had Stairs and German as back-ups. I like Stairs bat, but both are serious defensive liabilities. Now we have four outfielders, two who can play center and a ligitimate base stealer/speed threat. Number nine spot is perfect for Gathright to work on batting and potentially to lead off. For the future we have Brown (.270-.280 ave, 15-20 hr) at one corner and DeJesus (.280-.290 ave, 10 hr) at the other corner. If Gathright does not produce anything but speed, we can move DeJesus back and develop/obtain a different corner outfielder.
Players have to be given up on for a team to move forward. If we cannot get players to play hard and run hard, they do not have enough pride to be in this organization. Get RID of them. While I know Berroa has talent I don't know of to many ballplayers who jog to first more, or turn a double play any slower or more awkward around the bag. I am sick of that kind of ball from this team for the many years we have been subjected to it. It is nice in the past week to see the team have a little life in it. Go Joey. Go Dayton, clean house. Dayton please be a man and not what we have gotten used to here for so many years now. Stay with a plan right or wrong. The only plan we have seen here for years has been change every year, and very little hope for the future. I would love for you to make me want to buy season tickets again. We have seen the Glasses do not no how to run a ball team so hopefully they will not run one anymore.
As owners maybe they can also become fans and leave the ball team and the media alone.
Dear Royals fans:
You have a great GM in Dayton Moore. Having lived in Atlanta for the past 15 years I have had the pleasure of watching year after year as players develop in the farm system and then contribute at the Major League level. Be patient, and you will have a winner you can be proud to call your own. You could not ask for a better person to run the organization.
Something…and it may be radical Mr. Glass should do…in my opinion…after watching several of their games, I am starting to get the idea that the whole organization, save a few, needs to be either bought out, forced to retire or flat-out fired. The starting pitching rotation, a good portion of them, have an earned run average over 5 and those that don't have an ERA that high aren't supported offensively or by the middle or closing pitching relief.
Due to the current structure that major league baseball finds itself in, smaller market teams such as the Royals through profit sharing get funds from the larger market teams such as the Yankees and Red Sox. Besides the money the team gets from season ticket sales, regular ticket sales, concession sales and other licensed merchandise – millions of dollars – team owner David Glass is getting an additional $65 million per year from major league baseball. You would think that Glass would have the team's salary at a minimum of $65 million.
If that were what you think, then you, like I was, would be wrong. Before the regular season got underway, then team general manager Allard Biard got permission to increase the salary level up to $50 million from $45 million. I know the Royals' owner doesn't want the team to slide into bankruptcy, but he has to realize that if he puts wins on the board he will put people in the seats. In order to do that, he has to open the pocketbook wider than a half inch.
My advice to Mr. Glass is follow the example set by a former mentor – Sam Walton. When establishing Wal-Mart, "Mr. Sam", as he was commonly referred, knew that in order to make money you needed to spend money. He wasn't afraid of going temporarily into debt. He knew that in order to get the greatest results you had to spend money. He knew that the people who made the most money and had the most success knew that in order to be successful you had to get the best in both people and products.
Currently Glass is not doing that. He's acting like a business owner who is afraid to spend money and settles for average or less than average talent and then is shocked when his team fails to win.
I don't particularly care for George Steinbrenner, primarily because he owns my baseball nemesis, the Yankees. However, he does know how to build a consistent winner. He opens his wallet wide. He buys the best talent money can buy. He hires one of the game's best managers and the results show pennant after pennant and World Series title after World Series title.
I know the Royals' budget will never equal that of the Yankees, but realistically, Glass can do a lot better than he is doing with this ball club. There are a few things that he should do and to date, he has done only one of them. First, he needs to get rid of Buddy Bell. I like Bell, but he's clearly not the best manager out there. Any coach who pulls a successful pitcher with a comfortable lead and is not struggling and replaces him with a pitcher who has blown eight of his last 11 save opportunities needs to go.
Next, hire the best general manager that you can. Glass did this with the firing of Biard and the hiring of Dayton Moore. Moore comes from Atlanta where he and Braves' current GM John Shurholtz – the former Royal GM during the 80s glory days – helped the Braves win 14 consecutive division titles.
Finally, when this season is mercifully over, I would let the current contracts that are about to expire do so. Then, I would do some wholesale house cleaning. Get rid of as many non-productive players as possible, open the wallet and go shopping. Bring in top, proven talent. If there is someone on your dream wish list, find out how much his top offer is and match it and add $1 million.
While you may appear to go broke with the increased payroll, the money will come rolling in as the team starts winning again and the seats fill with Royals' fans hungry for another post-season run. As the team wins, its popularity will increase, merchandise sales will increase and the profit sharing that you get from other teams after the season ends will appear more like a drop in the bucket.
This story is screwy. It first tries to make the assertion that the Royals haven't changed CF'ers very often..then uses the fact that DDJ is already 7th on the list in all time games played there to prove the point?
We're a 35 year old team, and if you've played more than a third of a season in CF, you're on our top 10 list?
Then, they can't even get a simple thing like numerical order done right. A previous poster said Brian McRae was left off the list. Maybe he was when the story was posted, but he's on it now…except he's listed (at 606 games) BEHIND Johnny Damon (at 405 games).
Actually you are wrong on the assertion that the story is screwy. It does prove the point that after only a couple years, he is up to 7th. The list is top heavy with a majority of the games played by the top three.
And then the comment about Glass and spending money. First your numbers are wrong. In 2005, the Royals got 55 mil from the MLB general fund. A lot of people compare that to the 2005 team salaries and try to say that the money isn't being spent. But that isn't the case, a team gets three checks, one in June, one later in the season and then one in the offseason. Just like you can't spend your paycheck before you get it the Royals can't spend theirs until they receive the funds. So, let's look at the 55 mil the Royals got. Yes, the team salary is only at 48-50 mil range this year, but the Royals typically spent about 6 mil a year on the draft, so the MLB revenue money is gone. There are ticket sales, parking, etc. But there are a ton of other expenses with the business than players salaries, insurance on players, travel expenses, all the coaches, trainers, support (businees side) staff, and on and on that takes up a lot more.
If you want to argue that Glass hasn't spend his money wisely, it is a debateable argument (heck I don't always spend my money wisely). But to say that he has been cheap and pocketing the revenue is wrong.
Another correcton on the post about revenue and spending. Revenue from mechandise sales unless it is bought at the stadium is split among the 30 teams. So, if you go down to Target and buy a Yankees shirt, every team gets an equal share of that money. Profits on the items bought at the stadium go to the team.
And the thought of going out to buy the dream player just won't work with as bad as the team has been lately. Let's say I am a top of the rotation starter, one of the best free agents out there and can pick whatever team I want. The Red Sox offer me $13 mil but the Royals offer me $14. Things aren't looking good in KC and I have a better chance to be succesful in Boston, so that player will pass on the extra mil and go to Boston. That is why Glass has stated that it is important to get to .500 and show some progress then a player can see that they can be successful here and the extra mil could bring them here.
Another error:
Amos Otis actually played 1,793 games as a Royals center fielder, not 1,490.
I miss Bo Jackson!
Brad, I do believe you are incorrect Amos did play around 1800 games in the outfield for the Royals, but for around 3-4 years, he was shifted over with Willie Wilson playing center.
JW, I too thought Otis played a significant amount of games as a corner outfielder in his final years, but as it turns out, he played just 54 games there (1981 & 1983).
It could very well be the case, but don't remember it that way, of course the memory is getting older and fuzzier.
If it is the case, the Royals need to flunk or fire the intern who put the numbers together.
Dear GM Dayton Moore,
Would you please consider trading to get some true home run hitters for the Royals this year. As the old saying goes, "Defense wins games, but offense sells tickets." It has been hard watching the Royals lose so many games in recent years. It's harder to watch a stadium that can hold 40,000+ fans, be consistently filled with only less than 15,000. Please continue to rebuilt the team and they will come.
True home run hitters also typically come with a higher price tag .
With that said though, I believe your home run hitters are on the way with Butler and Gordon.
Gosh.. 'Home Run Hitter'. It's been awhile since I have heard that term. I don't disagree, but does anyone even know what the term means anymore? What constitutes a Home Run Hitter?
" What constitutes a Home Run Hitter?"
Lets See…
Frank Thomas in Oakland
Mark Tiexiera in Texas, Richie Sexson in Seattle
Vlad Guerrero in LA, Giambi/ARod in NY
Manny or Papi in beantown, Glaus or Wells in Toronto
Miggy in Baltimore
Jonny Gomes in Tampa
Kent in LA
Tracy in AZ
Bonds in SF
Helton and Holliday in COL, Piazza in SD
Aramis in CHI
Pujols in St Louis
Lee in Milwaukee
Berkman in Houston
Bay in Pittsburgh
Dunn in Cincy
Delgado for the Mets
Howard Utley Burrel Abreu in Philly
Cabrera for the Marlins, Jones and Jones for Atlanta Soriano for the Nats
Thome and Konerko on the South Side
Ordonez in Detroit
Hafner and Vmart in Cleveland
Morneau in Minneasota.
To summarize what constitutes a home run hitter is basically someone who does not play in kansas city.
Go Wranglers!
The Royals need more power. A typical line score reads: Royals–2 runs, 9 hits, 0 HRs. Tampa Bay–5 runs, 6 hits, 1 three run bomb. There are 7 players for the Royals with 50 ABs or more who are batting under .250, this comes to around 800 ABs and 16 HRs. That is a little under one HR for every 50 ABs. Let's compare that with one player–Stairs. He can hit around 15-20 HRs in 400 ABs and he hits around .250-.260. How much are we paying him? I would think it does not break the bank. Stairs gives us twice the chance at the three run bomb with the same/better average. Didn't Teahen win a game with a HR? Having one or two guys in the lineup with what today is considered second tier power is not going to produce much offense or have teams adjust the way they pitch to us. They are always pitching in their comfort zone. On a completely different subject I have a note for Berroa–No one is going to pitch you a strike 0-2. STOP SWINGING. Other teams know when they get two strikes on Berroa the next pitch is in the dirt.
Wal-Mart sells many things. Please sell the Royals.
What a pessimistic bunch of posts. First we have a Boston Red Sox fan, who has watched a "couple of games", and has a littany of radical changes to offer as the solution.
1.The Royals are not as bad as their record. They lack an Ace, because Runnelvys, Affeldt, and Greinke never lived up to their potential, but there is still hope for Greinke.
We lost our leadoff hitter, cleanup hitter, 4th OF and closer in April. I defy any team to overcome that set of variables.
2.The Royals are not that far away from contending. Grudzielanek is a keeper for next season, backed up by German, who could take over. Teahen is making significant progress at holding down 3rd. Dejesus I believe will regain CF and keep it. Gathright will be a backup and pinch runner. Buck has made progress, but I hope Dayton follows the mold of Atlanta and realizes the enormous value of an Offensive catcher(and 2B). That leaves SS, 1B, DH, and 2 corner OF spots. Filled by Bianchi/Sanchez, Huber/Gordon, Huber/Butler, Butler/Free agent, and Costa, Maier, Lubanski.
The pitching has Hochevar, Madritsch, Greinke to bolster it, and this off season there is finally a better group of SP to draw from, and hopefully we can lure an Ace to set the tone. (Mulder, Zito, Smoltz, Maddux, Ponson, Schmidt…)
3. The owner is not to blame, the players are. There has been turmoil and change working against the players, The GM's have made disappointing trades that have not benefitted the long term, but sought to plug holes temporarily, ie Buck Teahen, Wood, for Beltran, Neifi Perez for Jermaine Dye, Roberto Hernandez etc.. But Affeldt, Hernandez, Snyder, Jeff Austin, Dee Brown, Carlos Febles, and perhaps Berroa, have all failed. Scouting, is were the ghosts are buried, and where the future lies. The Yankees, Red Sox, Braves, White Sox/Cubs all have huge TV contracts for 100 million or something close to it. The Royals get 4 milion from TV. Ownership is trying to address that with RSTN. Winning will definitely help, but 20-30 million would be a 500% increase, and still not be terribly significant. We are in a smaller market. Our owner didn't own Walmart, he was an employee. He is wealthy, with a net worth in the neighborhood of 300 million, but he is not Mark Cuban, or or Daniel Snyder. The best we could hope for is Glass sharing ownership with the Lauries. And it would be revisionist history to discount the stock market bubble bursting in 2000 which had to affect Glasses assets.
4. Buddy Bell is a very good coach, though I have disagrements with some of his decisions, like bunting Dejesus on the first pitch with Gathright on first, in the 4-4 tie. I felt he should have given Gathright a chance to steal 2nd and then bunt him to 3rd with one out. But we're not in the dugout, we don't have the matchup charts etc.. etc..
My overall point is MY Royals have hope. Sure it's eay to throw blame around, and some of it is deserved. But the landscape of baseball has changed dramatically since we were last really competitive. Who thinks the Royals were leading the way in steroid use? The Yankees payroll is $200 million! The Astros destroyed common sense and paid Clemens 20 million to play half a season, every 5th day. It's pretty hard to succeed in that environment. But it can be done for 4-5 year periods at a time by small market teams with good scouting and player development. I wish Dayton and those departments well. They have already taken the most important step. Making prospects play at the top minor league level before throwing them into the fire. We have proven in the last 10 years that AA to KC, gives you an undeveloped player destined to fail, or at least not play at a premium.
Not to be disagreeable, davebeal, but the problem with your points are that they are contrary to what ANYONE else says about the issue. I have heard Buster Olney, John Donovan, Peter Gammons, ALL of the local radio and tv guys (including ex-players Brett, Monty, B-Mac, etc). Also, Dayton Moore, Buddy Bell and David Glass himself all know that the Royals are not a good team, that they are no where near competing, and that it is going to be years before they are. This is not being negative, it is being realistic. We still love the Royals and pull for them, but to act like they are not one of the worst teams in MLB history over the last 5-6 years is simply not looking at the facts.
Horse feathers, Flanagan! With "back problems" being one of the most common ailments of adult life, it's a very good bet that more than one "complainer" of the ridiculous salary being paid to Mike's Weenie has experienced them (Star 6/15/06 D-2).
Mike's Weenie is an impostor; one of the most, if not the the most overrated, unproductive, ineffective fakers ever to don a major league uniform and present himself as a professional-level athlete. Only Jose Lima comes to mind as an equal. This so-called major league athlete is an embarrassment to the game, his teammates, the team, Kansas City, and MBL as a whole. He is an insult to many of those same "complainers" you refer to who must go to work every day, whether they have "back problems" or not, in order to 1) keep their job, and 2) receive their pay.
Mike's Weenie does none of this. The King of Ouchies is content to sit on his over sized ****, collect his pay, and contribute nothing to the team. He is the worst example of leadership any young person could be forced to emulate. As captain of the Royals, he has failed dismally in setting an example of a work ethic that others can look up to and admire. This loser of major-league proportions played in only 70% of the games last year…what is the percentage going to be this year?
With his constant, self-absorbed, holier-than-thou, milk and cookies, let's pray about it obsession, he is a pestilence upon the locker room, and the populace in general. Instead of spending his time wisely to build confidence among team members, even while injured, this blowhard elects to squander that same time and money spreading his poison and inflicting those around him with his diseased brand of religious claptrap.
The best thing the new General Manager could do would be to put this malingering underachiever on the trading block as quickly as possible. This season is lost for the Royals. If they wish to start fresh (again), they can start first by unloading the steaming, fetid pile of dog excrement that is Mike's Weenie. Tomorrow wouldn't be soon enough.
Frustrated? Don't be fooled. This sad sack of a player deserves all the vilification, scorn and abuse the fans can rain down upon his sorry head.
I feel sorry for you. Your comments are so filled with hate, your live must be miserable and you want to bring everyone down to your level.
Your comments are nothing but name calling which I don't even feel worth my time debating.
And cdavis are you the same Craig Davis who was campaigning against the stadium renovation. It makes sense because you never have anything positive to say.
Yes, we are sorry to say that this IS the same Craig Davis. We thought at first that it was Bob Fescoe, then Ozzie Guillen, but it is Craig Davis, the 'poor man's' Clay Chastain.
Also, the yahoo profile has a very striking potrait of 'Crash' Davis (his nickname). For even more information, you can Google the e-mail address. This brings up some very interesting links to Kansas City news stories about the stadium vote, information on Mr Davis' Political Action Committee, and a user profile for membership in a Bulgarian Online Dating Service.
Mr. Davis is apparently not only into Kansas City issues, but a player on the International scene, as well.
Check out the 'Royals respond to Credential' thread for the entire history of cdavis and his lovely posts. He posted a very nasty response to our last post but, alas , we got the last word in (YES!!). He was not happy about that, and sent us an e-mail.
Here it is (with obvious edits for the 'mature, adult ' language that he uses):
sayonara a**hole
There you go sh**head. the entry is closed and I got in the last word…..i'm certain everyone saw it before the pr**ks who run the blog did that. maybe you are the pr**k that runs the blog.
in any event, it was nice sparring with you. come back again when you grow up and get a real job, a real life and a real brain.
I hope that we can get back to civility and be more cordial in our comments. I hate to see this blog gets shut down because of one person's act of uncivil opining.
Getting back to where we were…I like the fact that the Royals have Butler and Gordon in the farm system who may turn out to be home run hitters in the future. I think that the only Royals player that came close to being a true home run guy was Steve Balboni. I think he hit 36 HRs one year. What this number the highest ever recorded for a Royals player?
If GM Moore can can trade for Andruw Jones from his old team, then I think the Royals will have a true home run hitter. I'm not sure if the GM should consider Smoltz. I think Smoltz is getting way past his prime, if you consider the amount of $ or Royals potentials that KC may have to make for Smoltz.
great minds discuss ideas
mediocre minds discuss events
little minds discuss people
and even littler minds discuss professional sports, assuming that they actually have something positive and worthwhile to contribute. these are the sort of people whose lives are so empty, so vapid, so without purpose that they can only align with a silly-butt pro sports team in a lame attempt to achieve notice. excuse me whilst i go to a 3rd floor bathroom at arrowhead and take a whiz in the sink like all those other fine "adult men." GO GHANA!!
For everyone that wants a home run hitter here in KC, just remember where we play, In a ballpark that kills homerun hitters, and no homerun hitters want to come here because of the size of the ballpark. I like what Dayton is doing, trying to build this team around the park we play in with speed and gap hitters, with an occasional homerun, we need to build this team like it was in the 70 and 80's. With Dayton it will happen. Go Royals!!!
Although I don't agree with the venom spewing forth from the insecure anti-religious nut, I have to concur with the general sentiment about getting rid of Mike Sweeney.
That almost hurts to say… the fact that it almost hurts says something. Make no mistake, had the Royals not had a +.500 season in 2003, Sweeney would've been good at the end of 2004. He's miserable here, and if his injuries are legitimate enough to keep him out… he's probably more likely to get injured in such a negative state. He's a fairly good ballplayer who has been stuck in the worst team in baseball most of his career (a few years they weren't the worst, I guess…).
Trade him. Get a really good pitcher for him… not the type of pitcher Baird picked up, but a pitcher whose qualifications exceed being a "veteran" and venture into the "dominating" category.
If you can't get a pitcher for him, take the money and run. He'll be happier, and so will we. We'll remember the good days Sweeney gave us, but it's time to part ways.
And, I agree with attackfan, we don't need a HR hitter. No Royals team has ever had a true power hitter (possible exception, Balboni, but he didn't lead the league or anything…). I'll give Moore the benefit of the doubt on Gathright. For now, any way…
I agree.
If you can't shell out 60-70 million dollars from your EXTREMELY deep pocket, then sell the team. There are alot of people that will make that effort.
I wonder if Mark Cuban is interested in baseball?
CDavis has to be one of the worst baseball fans i have ever seen. Criticizing a player for being religious??
Oh bye the way, look up who has the Royals leading RBI total in a season and email that to me. I will give it to ya that he has definitly not been worth 11 mil. But the 85% of the time he was in the lineup he provided the team with a much needed power threat. Think of how much worse the team would have been had Sweeney not been in the lineup for most of last year. Then opposing pitchers could have pitched around Brown, Stairs, ect. knowing that nobody else would get a clutch hit. Having Sweeney in the lineup bumped up there producting by atleast 10 RBI's.
We could trade Sweeney (it kills me to say that) and get a No. 2 pitcher (ace on our team) and rising prospect to make the future brighter.
Now if we could just get Hochayvur signed
DeJesus has been an above average centerfielder on defense. Gathright has tremendous potential and great speed, he hasn't put it all together at the major league level yet, but if he is successful we have one heck of 2/3 of an outfield on the defense side. Can you imagine the sales pitch that Moore will have to potential free agent pitchers. The defense on the infield has looked pretty good this year (yes, I know there have been some goofs here and there), but they are in the top half of the league defesively. I think Moore realizes that he has to make KC look appealing to FA pitchers and Gathright is one of the steps to do that.
Not that I'm opposed to trading Sweeney, but who would want him?? If you were a GM would you take him and give up more than a bag of balls?? He's strictly a DH now, with an inflated $$ value. Unless the rules in the front office have changed the Royals won't eat salary.
I'm sure I'm probably mistaken, but I think the Royals HR Record is held by Balboney, with around 36. The park doesn't lend to home runs. What the team needs is a guy that can get on base (high OBP) with speed, then about 4 or 5 guys with 295+ averages. (just a note Gathright has reached base safely at least 2 times per game since he joined the Royals)It helps to have a thumper in there. But it's not manditory. The Royals have lost with Sweeney in the line up also.
Trust me, the last thing I want to do is put fuel to the fire, but I just can't hold back..
CDavis.. You say that even smaller minds discuss professional sports thinking that they have something to contribute.. Isn't that what you did? Did you not try to contribute your opinion on Mike Sweeney and how you want him gone? How small does that make your mind?
You know, for all 19 years of my life, I've been a Royals fan. I'll be honest: If Glass keeps the team, if Glass sells the team, if the team wins another championship, if the team wins a combined 100 games over the next three seasons.. I'm still going to be a fan. Maybe it's because I've been accustomed to them not winning, or maybe it's because I'm a fool. I'll be truthful; nothing got me more excited when the Royals were off to that great start a couple years back.
But look at it this way;
If the Royals get back to the World Series, we'll all complain about the ticket prices😛
On a completely different note; Watch your back Slugger.. I'm going to be the next man in the lion suit.
Matt, I understand the loyalty thing. I've been following the Royals forever and it's in my blood. I want them to be better, but I'll follow them regardless. I attended back before Royals stadium and knew their stats better than they did. It was a great team to follow then and I'll keep on til I die.
I do think they can win without thumpers, but they cannot win with mediocre pitching and little clutch hitting, which is what they have currently. When they were solid back in the 80's, it was speed, defense, and clutch hitting. They had a number of guys hitting between 25-30 homers, but no one regularly beyond that. We have too many singles hitters at this point. White, Wilson, Washington, Cowens, even Brett were adept at stretching singles to doubles and scoring on pretty much anything to the outfield. We were a very aggressive team on the bases. Sweeney, if we could get something for him, should go. Stairs could dh for now as he has shown a penchant for the clutch hit lately. Berroa also needs to go at the end of the year if he can't learn to take a walk. His number of walks are simply inexcusable. Mientkiewicz is a nice backup, but he shouldn't be starting. I realize much of why he's in everyday is Sweeney's inability to play. Teahen is a stopgap until Gordon gets called up. Otherwise, it's mainly a pitching issue. Lately, it's been better and we've been winning, Duh! I agree with Moore that scouting has to improve and hopefully it will. Atlanta is a great model to follow, that's for sure. We'll see how the last 3 months of the season go and hopefully we won't see our team buried in the first three weeks next year.
Mattrock4, Bkrehbiel1 is dead ON! Like Bkrehbiel1, I had the pleasure of watching the Royals from day one. Gap hitters, and doubles hitters and "bat handlers" are a must to win in this ball park. Even John Wathan stole like 40 bases one year, not bad for a catcher.
Regarding all the babble regarding Mr.Glass selling the team….. I think he's done better, I think (and hope) he's hired a capable GM that he can trust to make good baseball decisions, and will stay out of the way. It's going to take a few years before we can contend, but respectability should come sooner than that.
I am a die-hard KC fan, I was born one year before we beat STL in the World Series and from what my parents told me I watched the entire series. No matter how bad the Royals are I will always be a fan, there is no changinng a real fan.
I think Moore will do the right things, and in time we will see improvements, but it will take a couple of years, I would say a minimum of 3 years before we are "contenders" again. The only problem is that when we are good again (it's only a matter of time) we will have to hope that the Tigers and Sox have cooled down immensley.
This is the story of this years Detroit Tigers team. I was raised in KC but am on a 6 month stay in Detroit and have been down to Comerica to watch them play, and in two weeks I will be down there for the entire KC series.
Craig Davis is an obnoxious, hypocritical idiot.
Im a big fan of Dayton Moore so far. I like watching the games again, but if we bring up the Glass family will our internet credentials be taken away!?!?
I like what Mr. Moore brings to the table. The assistant GM hire was a great move.
I do notice however that you have closed the comments regarding "credential gate" I guess my question for Mr. Moore and to the Kansas City Royals in general is "If you think you werent treated fairly here in KC in regards to your first interview …what do you think the reaction to the questions by Moss and others would have been in Atlanta or New York.
I come from an area of teh country where reporters get fired for NOT asking the hard questions.
Mr. Moore have you had any contact with Moss and the other guy regarding the incident?
Sam, I wouldn't hold my breath with Dayton Moore or anyone answering. The 'Dayton Moore will be stopping by' post was originally put out there on June 21st. It has only been a week. We know that when the Royals say something is going to happen, it will be at least two weeks before it happens, and then they will deny EVER saying that Dayton was stopping by.
To be the best we can possibly be,
to grow, and learn in every adversity,
and not lose the success that's ours to be
requires control of our thoughts explicitly. Do you think so? http://www.nicetick.com

Rogers Looking to Make an Impact
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State fans are eagerly awaiting the debut of redshirt freshman Charlie Rogers in 2013. Rogers, who redshirted last season in his first year in Ames, was an all-state quarterback at Iowa City West High School, amassing 3,319 yards of total offense as a senior in 2011.
The Cyclone staff moved the prep star to defensive back and he's already made quite an impression. Rogers is slated to be a significant contributor at cornerback for the Cyclones in 2013.
Cyclones.com caught up with Rogers recently to talk about the upcoming season.
How difficult was it to sit out last year as a redshirt?
"It was one of the toughest things that I've been through. My freshman year, there were a lot of ups and downs. Now I'm just grateful to be a part of this team. We have teammates that treat you more like brothers, guys who bring you up and let you know that your time is coming soon. I look up to Jacques (Washington) a lot. He's been here a while and knows what he's doing. Also, [Jeremiah George], guys like them, I look forward to seeing them every day, so that I can do the things that they're doing. "
Last year was a redshirt season. This year you have a chance to play significant minutes. How does that make you feel?
"It's awesome. It's all about the work that you put in each day. The coaches see how much I work, and they stuck me in on defense, somewhere they thought I'd fit. I've taken it, and I'm going to run with it. If they tell me to play corner, I'll play corner. If they tell me to play nickel, I'll play nickel. If I have to play safety, I'll play safety. I really just want to be on the field, and I'm going to do everything that I have to do to put myself in a good situation."
Did you ever believe you would have a chance to play right away as a freshman?
"I did believe that, a couple of years down the road, I would be able to work myself into some playing time, whether it's on special teams or actually playing on offense or defense. I just didn't know where. I take everything, process it and put myself in the best position. That's what I did, and that's how I got here today. It's not something that I'm going to stop doing because it's something that shows how much you want it."
Are you happy with your decision to come to Iowa State?
"Very happy. I'm really grateful to be on this team with the teammates that I have. I've built bonds over the first year with the other kids in my class, and the upper classmen have shown me a lot of the things that I'm going to have to do. They don't verbally tell me, but you watch them, see how they handle themselves, then you do those things yourself. That's how a program gets built. That's how a program gets stronger."

|2 Dragons heading to state track meet May 16-18
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
Holyoke tracksters closed out the season at the LPAA/YWKC League Championships in Wray Saturday, May 11. The boys scored 95 points to finish in fourth while the girls placed ninth, scoring 52 points.
Jacinda Krueger and Carlos Diaz will represent Holyoke at the state meet Thursday-Saturday, May 16-18.
Krueger earned the No. 12 seed in the 300-meter hurdles and the 16th-seed in the 100-meter dash.
Diaz will compete in the high jump, entering the meet in a nine-way tie for the No. 14 seed.
Diaz, who coach Luke Thomas said only competed in the high jump two other times in the season, entered the event moreso as an end-of-the-year fun event and ended up qualifying for state.
"It is rewarding to see it happen for him," Thomas said. "Good things are going to happen. We are all proud of him."

Thomas noted the main concern is keeping the two athletes focused as they enter the last week of the season. Practices will aim to improve technique and build confidence while making sure muscles are rested and ready for competition.
Thomas said many kids were just outside of the top-18 times, distances or heights needed to qualify for state.
"We had a bunch of young kids on the cusp of making a run for state," Thomas said. "It is going to be a very successful program if they stick around and work hard."
Daniel Bencomo was just six inches short from qualifying in the discus. The boys' 4x200-meter relay team was on pace to post a qualifying time Saturday, but going into the last leg of the race, a fallen runner entered into Holyoke's lane, forcing T.J. Gertner to slow down, stutter step and jump the human obstacle. Thomas believes that at the pace the team was running, they would have easily qualified.
"I am so proud of all of the athletes," Thomas said. "They worked hard and made it a very rewarding year for me and the other coaches as well."
Boys' results
100-meter dash—T.J. Gertner, fifth, :12.39.
800-meter run—Ryan Parker, second, 2:09.17; and Matt Golden, fifth, 2:20.93.

Fire marshal requested in St. Albans blazes
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Kanawha County fire officials have called in the state fire marshal's office to investigate three similar fires that broke out in the same St. Albans subdivision over two days.
The first fire broke out in an apartment complex in the Indian Head subdivision on Geronimo Drive around 6 a.m. Sunday. That fire seems to have started at an outlet box on the outside of a wall, said Kanawha County Deputy Emergency Services Director C.W. Sigman.
A second fire broke out at 49 Geronimo Drive at almost the same time on Monday. Sigman said that fire also appears to have started at an outside outlet box.
"We've had two fires in 24 hours at about the same time, in exactly the same place," Sigman said after the second fire. "We want to get the [state] fire marshal's office out to try to figure this out."
Then, a third fire broke out about 11 a.m. Monday at another apartment on Geronimo Drive.
All three fires were in the same townhouse unit. The third fire started in another apartment unit, but this time on the second floor, Sigman said.
"It, like the other two, appears to be wiring fire, inside the wall," he said.
Sigman doesn't think the fires can be explained simply by faulty wiring.
"Faulty wiring would not be that consistent," he said. "I think there's something else going on.
"That's why we're calling in the experts."
Geronimo Drive is along the Coal River in St. Albans. Sigman said the community is made up largely of six-unit townhouses that were probably built at about the same time in the 1970s. He said another fire broke out in wiring leading to one of the units in September.
On Sunday and earlier Monday, smoke detectors alerted the occupants of the apartments and they were able to escape.
"[On Sunday] there was a mother, two children and a niece in the house," Sigman said. An elderly woman lived in the home in which the Monday-morning fire broke out.
Sigman said the third townhouse unit was under renovation and unoccupied when the fire started there.

National Volunteer Week is April 21-27 and is a time to recognize and celebrate the thousands of men, women and young people who volunteer in communities across the country. I am the hospice volunteer coordinator at Craven County Health Department Hospice and would like to honor all volunteers who are dedicated to providing care and support for the patients who are nearing the end of life�s journey.
Across the country, more than 458,000 trained volunteers provide more than 21 million hours of service to Hospice organizations. More than 1.58 million people receive compassionate care from hospice every year, and hospice volunteers are an integral part of the care team.
On behalf of the staff of Craven County Health Department Hospice, I would like to publicly thank the 18 volunteers associated with our agency. These kind people help us every day by spending time with the patients, providing pet, music and other alternative therapies, assisting in the office and much more. The work these volunteers do for us and the patients we serve is invaluable. Their dedication and selfless commitment enables us to fulfill our mission: to enhance the quality of life for individuals and their loved ones touched by a terminal illness. Their acts of compassion both large and small, allow our patients comfort, and companionship that make the difference at a very critical point in their lives.
To our volunteers and all Hospice volunteers, thank you!

ATLANTA -- FBI agents have arrested two Alabama men accused of plotting to wage violent jihad in Africa.
Mohammad Abdul Rahman Abukhdair and Randy Wilson, also known as Rasheed Wilson, both 25 and U.S. citizens, were arrested on terrorism charges.
Prosecutors say they planned to travel to Mauritania in West Africa to prepare to engage in jihad.
Wilson was arrested Tuesday at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport as he prepared to begin a journey to Morocco. Abukhdair was arrested in Augusta at a bus terminal, where he was also beginning a trip to Morocco.
Investigators say the men met online two years ago when Wilson was living in Mobile and Abukhdair was living in Egypt. Last year, they were introduced to someone who turned out to be an undercover FBI operative. Court documents say they explained that they had already formulated a plan to wage jihad overseas.
Earlier this year, court documents say, the two thought they detected FBI surveillance, so they threw their laptop computers into Mobile Bay and opened a men's fragrance store to make it appear they had no plans to leave the country. But the actual FBI surveillance continued until they were arrested.
The fragrance store closed after four months because of lack of business.

|FSA News
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
NAP Deadline
The sales closing date to buy 2010 NAP coverage for alfalfa, grass forage or seed, grass for grazing, honey, mixed forage or mustard is Dec. 1, 2009.
In addition to buying the coverage for risk protection, producers who want to maintain eligibility for crop or livestock disaster programs in the county need to consider buying federal crop insurance (CI) or FSA's Noninsurable Crop
Assistance Program (NAP) to maintain program eligibility.
For a producer to be eligible for the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program (SURE), all of the farming operation's crops (planted or intended) that are of economic significance must be covered by either CI or NAP coverage.
Coverage must also be obtained for other crops for which CI or NAP is available, such as nursery, honey, aquaculture and floriculture. However, statute does not require coverage for grazed crops for the SURE.
Eligible farmers and ranchers who meet the definition of "Socially Disadvantaged," "Limited Resource" or "Beginning" do not have to meet this requirement.
Should Phillips County meet the eligibility requirements for the Livestock Forage Program (LFP), producers must have purchased either the Pasture, Rangeland, Forage Rainfall Index (PRF-RI) insurance coverage through their crop insurance agent or the Non-Insured Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) through FSA on the grazing acres to be considered an eligible producer for the program. If a producer only elects certain acres under PRF-RI, they should consider purchasing NAP coverage to cover eligibility on all acres grazed.
NAP coverage for 2010 costs $250 per crop but not more than $750 per producer per county or not more than $1,875 total per producer for all counties.
Livestock Indemnity Program
Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) compensates livestock owners and contract growers for livestock death losses in excess of normal mortality due to adverse weather including losses due to hurricanes, floods, blizzards, disease, wildfires, extreme heat and extreme cold.
Livestock owners and contract growers who suffer 2009 livestock losses after July 13, 2009 must file a notice of loss within 30 calendar days of when the loss of livestock is apparent and an application for payment no later than Jan. 30, 2010.
To be eligible for assistance under LIP, each livestock producer must provide verifiable documentation of livestock deaths. Adequate documentation must be provided that proves the death of eligible livestock occurred as a direct result of an eligible adverse weather event in the calendar year for which benefits are being requested.
The quantity and kind of livestock that died may be documented by, but is not limited to, bank or other loan documents, FEMA records, records assembled for tax purposes, National Guard records, private insurance documents, production records, property tax records, purchase records, rendering truck receipts, veterinarian records, written contracts, brand inspection records, contemporaneous producer records existing at the time of the event, dairy herd improvement records, photographs and/or vaccination records.
Certifications of livestock deaths by third parties may be accepted only when certain conditions are met.
Erroneous Notification Letters
Washington D.C. informed the office that erroneous notification letters of debts due to CCC have been sent out to producers. They are working to send out follow-up information to the affected producers. The letter was generated out of Kansas City and was sent in error. If you received a notification letter for an amount due, you do not need to respond to the letter. If you have any doubts, please bring the letter to the office for verification. Notification letters will be sent out at a later date for producers with legitimate debts due to CCC.

Video: Sgt. Nathan Harris Gives Tour of New Home
GREENSBORO, N.C. - It's a Veterans Day Sergeant Nathan Harris will never forget.
"I don't know if I will ever be able to say thank you enough."
Surrounded by a coalition of supporters who made this day possible, Sergeant Harris was welcomed to his new home the way a hero should be.
READ: Local Hero to Move Into Purple Heart Home
"This is truly a new beginning. He came home a little over four years ago... but he really is home now," said Nathan's mother, Cindy Gitter.
Nathan was wounded while serving in Afghanistan. He was shot during an attack in 2009. The bullet from a machine gun went in through his hip and thigh and exited through his knee. He has had 10 surgeries and has a titanium rod from his knee to his hip.
He's survived this journey without a home of his own. In just the past couple of months, he's moved five times.
"This is the start for a whole new life for him. He's been a Nomad for years now," said Brian Sowers, President, Crescent Rotary Club.
Brian Sowers led the troops in renovating the house to fit Nathan's needs.
It took hundreds of volunteers and dozens of sponsors.
The kitchen was remodeled, the walls were painted, floors replaced and doorways widened.
"It's phenomenal what they've all done," said Gitter.
"This many people come and show their appreciation and just support by being here for Nathan and encouraging him because that's really what he needs," explained Dale Beatty, Co-Founder, Purple Heart Homes.
READ: Wounded Soldier Builds "Purple Heart Homes"
Beatty and his "battle buddy" John Gallina started Purple Heart Homes in 2008.
"It's always inspiring to see the community come together, when it grows with each project like it has here in Greensboro, with the Crescent Rotary, it takes on a life of its own, and that's really inspiring," said Gallina. "That the mission is being heard, it's taking root, and communities are getting involved and doing great things." "This has really, really made me feel appreciated," explained Harris.
Nathan says he's ready to help the next veteran in line get a home of their own through Purple Heart Homes.
In addition to Purple Heart Homes and The Crescent Rotary Club, TIMCO Aviation Services, The Home Depot, Wet N' Wild, Disaster One, The Salvation Army of Greensboro and Invisible Fence were key sponsors.

There are lots of reasons you might want to apply temporary color to your eyebrows. Some women want to add more color and definition to their faces. Others are looking to fill in sparse and thinning brows or make them look fuller. Choosing a water resistant formula from the blinc Eye Brow collection will ensure that your makeup stays in place all day long until you're ready to part with it.
Cosmetics like blinc Eye Brow mousse color your brows, but they also offer unique ingredients that deliver anti-aging peptides right to the skin of your eyebrow. That boost of moisturizer makes a difference to those little hairs that frame your eyes, keeping them soft and supple and eliminating flaking. The color won't fade or smudge. You can move through your day with confidence, knowing your eyebrows are well-groomed and healthy.
blinc Eye Brow color is not a pencil or powder. It's a light mousse you apply with a wand, much like mascara. You get precise control of the color and shape of your brows, exactly what you need to look your best all day.
Make the most of your natural eyebrows by enhancing them with blinc Eye Brow color. The application technique is similar to applying color with an eyebrow pencil but does take a bit of practice to perfect the motion. Brush lightly in upward strokes, sweeping your brows toward the outside of your face along their natural curve. If you have sparse brows, fill in bare spots with several layers just in that area. If your brows tend to be heavier or darker than your hair, use a light touch and avoid applying color to the skin. The blinc Eye Brow collection comes in several different shades to accommodate most hair colors.
blinc Eyebrow Mousse Dark Blonde to works great on darker blondes that have golden tones. The unique formulation takes coloring your brows to another level by adding anti-aging skin conditioning ingredients, which reduce unsightly dead skin flakes which often appear in your eyebrows. The formula gently nourishes and conditions these often forgotten parts of your face. Those with light blonde hair or hair that is graying should opt for the blinc Eyebrow Mousse Light Blonde for outstanding results.
blinc Eyebrow Mousse Dark Brunette will enhance the eyebrows of women with dark brown hair. The formula is waterproof and sweat proof, as all good eye cosmetics should be, but it won't dry your skin or your brows. Instead it leaves them in superior condition. If you have lighter brown hair, try the blinc Eyebrow Mousse Light Brunette to add definition and control. You'll be amazed at how much difference a little added color can make. If your hair is dark with more of a reddish tone, your choice is blinc Eyebrow Mousse Dark Auburn.
No matter which blinc eyebrow shade you choose, brush the formula on to your brows in soft strokes and add multiple layers to create more intense, darker coloration. Start conservatively and add more until you achieve the desired result. Color stays put until you wash it off with a gentle makeup remover. If you find brow color remaining after cleansing and rinsing your face, use a cotton swab dipped in cleanser to fully remove the last traces.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shea752 Addictive I haven't had these since High School when the French Club were selling these for a dollar. Unfortunately these aren't always on sale, but when they are I stock up, because they are just as good now as they were back then. These are sugary, chewy, candy crack. My last two cents are that If you have braces it is best to stay away from these! May 26, 2014

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The National Park Service is ready to start using sharpshooters to kill deer in Washington's Rock Creek Park.
The effort to reduce the deer population in the park was delayed after an animal rights group filed a lawsuit to prevent the killings. A judge ruled in favor of the park service earlier this month.
The park service considered several options but ultimately decided the deer population needed to be reduced to protect plant and animal habitat. The park has more than 70 deer per square mile, and the plan is to reduce that number to no more than 20 per square mile.

The Christian conservative website WorldNetDaily has got its undies in a twist over an option that permits same-sex couples in Hasbro's The Game of Life.
The downloadable PC title is an update of the classic board game of the same name. WND writes:
The online version of a popular board game from many Americans' childhood includes an option for players to choose homosexual marriage and child-rearing as a way of life… even children can download and play a free trial version of The Game of Life, the first game ever created by Mr. Milton Bradley in 1860.
The player's first option in the online version is to choose a persona based on pictures that clearly depict men and women. Shortly thereafter, the game invites players to choose a spouse, regardless of the potential spouse's sex…
But, as WND notes, the modern version of the board game, created in 1960, allowed for gay unions as well:
The board game did not prevent players in any way from placing two pink or two blue pegs in the front seat [of the playing piece representing the family car], thus depicting a homosexual couple.
GP: Got this tip from none other than Jack Thompson during the course of seeking comment on last night's passage of the Utah video game bill.

Duke Energy Implements "Proactive" Compliance Management
John Kelly 270004J7VQ email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 262 Visits
Even in the wake of sweeping deregulation of the energy industry, few companies face as much government oversight as utilities. Power generation and distribution companies are subject to a maze of regulatory oversight, including state agencies and the federal agencies, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Why Compliance Programs Don't Get The Job Done
Richard Steinberg 270004HRBG email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 199 Visits
There are few things more devastating to a chief executive or board of directors than seeing their company's name splashed across media headlines with allegations of having broken the law. After wondering how it could possibly happen to us, the focus quickly goes to how best to effect damage control, with accompanying thoughts of billions of dollars in fines, penalties, judgments and lost business, as well as personal exposure, and knowing great amounts of time and energy will be directed to dealing with regulators, lawyers, and investigators instead of growing the business.
More from the Executive ERM Forum: A Discussion on Risk Quantification
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 186 Visits
In addition to the discussions summarized in previous posts, the participants at OpenPages Executive ERM Forum discussed risk quantification for operational risk and compliance. Some interesting ideas surfaced during the discussion.
First, participants agreed that the objective of quantification is for relative sizing and prioritization. In other words, you need to be able to relate the relative severity of a compliance risk in one division to an operational risk in another. This helps allocate resources to the right risks in the business.
OpenPages Finishes Another Strong Quarter
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 147 Visits
OpenPages finished another strong quarter this week. Big wins in the US, UK and South Africa led to another profitable quarter, with both revenue and bookings up significantly in Q3 over Q2. Other highlights from the quarter included being named as a leader in both the Forrester EGRC Wave and the Gartner MQ as well as in reports by European analyst firms Chartis and Celent. If there were a Sprint Cup for risk management software, OpenPages would be way out in the lead! We're seeing more and more evidence of what we surveyed at OPEN, namely, that risk management spending is trending up this year, and we're also starting to see companies prepare for 2010. We're involved in several opportunities that already have approved budgets for January.

Police seek to ID two men in stolen credit card case
Published: Friday, September 20, 2013 at 2:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 20, 2013 at 2:31 p.m.
Ocala police have released surveillance images of two men believed to have used a stolen school credit card at a local store.
The card was reported stolen Sept. 12 from a school and shortly afterward was used at Walmart at 2600 SW 19th Ave. Road to purchase lawn equipment. Police said the items were taken to the Walmart at 4980 E. Silver Springs Blvd., where one of the men attempted to return the goods for cash. The employee instead credited the card. The second man tried to use the card to buy more goods, but it was declined because it had been canceled.
Detectives are trying to find the men and hope someone will identify them from the photos. Anyone with information can call Detective Shawn Minucci at 369-7183, the Crime Line at 369-7061 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP. Tips can be texted via the MyPD App, to 274637 using keyword 368STOP or to ocalapd using TIP411.

How Do We Manage Water Pollution
Safeguarding the clean water that is the lifeblood of our communities and environment
Water. What could be more important to our health, our communities, and our lives?
By focusing our efforts on stopping pollution from sewage spills and stormwater runoff, American Rivers is working to ensure that our rivers and streams are safe for drinking, fishing, swimming and boating.
And by safeguarding small streams and wetlands, we are preserving nature's ability to filter and supply clean water. As droughts, floods and waterborne diseases intensify with global warming, this "natural infrastructure" will become more important than ever.
Working for a Strong Clean Water Act
American Rivers is working to protect clean water for people and wildlife in the face of 21st century challenges such as aging infrastructure, polluted runoff, and increasingly variable and frequent floods and droughts.
Through our work, we are leading efforts to advance funding for and implementation of green infrastructure and water efficiency practices to reduce polluted stormwater runoff and to secure reliable and predictable clean water supplies. We are also working to restore protections for small streams and wetlands and ensure healthy flows in rivers.

For years the Enterprise Asset Management track has been one of the largest at Pulse. This year, under the Smarter Physical Infrastructure stream, EAM will have 84 sessions. New this year will be 24 sessions under the "Industry case studies" track, which will no doubt produce some interesting submissions. Last year we had an agricultural industry submission that drew rave reviews. Refer here to see the diversity of industries in Latin America that were covered......from the Brazilian Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock (CNA) story to Cristal Chile a bottle manufacturer .
Maximo Asset Management solutions have a broad industry presence and we hope that by having 24 sessions dedicated to industry case studies we will be able to touch as many industries as possible. Have you submitted your proposal yet? Click here to submit.
Another incentive that we created this year in order to solicit your creativity, is the 'If only I had Maximo" home video campaign. If you are anything like me, as I encounter the daily tasks of maintaining a household, I'm constantly wishing I had Maximo to help with the maintenance, upkeep and warranty records for my house. I mean who wouldn't want an automated work order generated directly to take care of all of the machinery around the house and implement preventive maintenance schedules?
Of course Maximo isn't for home use, but we created this campaign (click here) to see if we had any creative folks out there who were looking for 5 mins of fame at Pulse. We think that this will also be a good way to expand our social media presence and get the community more engaged. How many of you are following our blog ? Are you a member of our community? We continue to grow and are always posting the latest & greatest activities for Maximo.
Take a look at our latest video which I filmed on a local goat farm.........can you see the similarities to the CNA story?
I hope this has inspired you to create your own home video & submit it for your 5 mins of fame at Pulse. Reminder of the link.

Research Firm Standard and Poors found Central Michigan Authorized charter schools had a lower than average passing rate than the average of public schools in the state of Michigan.
Walter French Academy school leader, John Nordlinger, spoke to News 10 in May about the gap between charter schools and traditional public schools in MEAP testing. He claimed standardized testing was directly proportional to the socioeconomic student clientele of a school.
According to Charter School officials, charter schools have a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students than traditional public schools.
While some believe this may have played a factor, MEAP officials say they take great precautions to make sure economic status is not a factor in MEAP scoring.

by Amy Yen, Marketing Specialist, Business Wire Los Angeles
This week, Business Wire was once again a proud sponsor and exhibitor at the 2011 PRSA International Conference, aka #PRSAIcon. Our conference team had a great time meeting so many of our amazing clients in person and learning the latest about the always changing PR industry. We tweeted updates on our @businesswire feed throughout the conference of interesting lessons from many of the keynotes and sessions. Here are eight key takeaways:
- PR is about storytelling. It was only appropriate in Orlando, home to the most magical place on earth, that the unofficial theme of the conference was storytelling. Opening keynote speaker Soledad O'Brien of CNN talked about storytelling being more than a statistic. You have to find the character behind the statistic & tell the story with their passion. The closing keynote speaker, Joe Rohde from Disney, talked about compelling stories coming from the interruptions in expected patterns. "We don't have time for things we think we already know."
- Video and visuals make for compelling storytelling. YouTube is the number two search engine in the world behind Google. Video makes for great content and is not as expensive as it's perceived to be. (After all, every phone is a camera.) It's also a good idea to get your executives on video talking about your brand . . . it helps qualify them as spokespeople for journalists.
- Customer service is the new black. Like it or not, part of PR is now customer service. In fact, thanks to social media, PR people are often the first to hear about the problems. There is still a level of awe right now if you just reply when your customers try to talk to you.
- Media training is not just a C-suite sport anymore. Keynote speaker Chris Brogan talked about how everyone is on some kind of media these days, so everyone should be trained. Soledad O'Brien discussed media training from a journalist's perspective, saying passion and emotion can't be trained. Ultimately, what people relate to is the authenticity and passion behind the messaging points.
- You can't ignore Google+. Chris Brogan pointed out that you have to care about Google+, if only because it's the only social network currently being indexed on the top two search engines in the world. Every PR professional should at least be conversational about it. Additionally, Google+ profiles can help with personal online presence since it ranks so highly on Google. Optimize your title and introduction and include links to all your other sites and networks, as those appear in your search results.
- Empower your employees on social media. If you're terrified to give control to others in your organization, you will not be successful in social media. Train them and have a social media policy so you can be. Your policy should be short and understandable without legal assistance and should be in every new hire's packet when they start.
- If it can be searched for, it can be optimized. Keyword optimize your blog posts, landing pages, press releases, online newsrooms, multimedia and social content. In press releases, optimize in the headline and subhead, include links and a call-to-action. For photos and other multimedia, optimize the file name of the file you are uploading, include alt text and captions.
- We are all fighting for budgets. PR should get credit for the leads it generates. Set goals before your campaign so you can track conversions with tools like Google Analytics. Track traffic with tools like Google URL builder, which tags your URLs so you know where your link clicks are coming from (press release versus AdWords versus Facebook ads, etc).
At the conference, we also announced our new partnership with Critical Mention, which will provide clients with access to Critical Mention's real-time television and radio monitoring platform. As an introductory promotion, Business Wire clients who subscribe with Critical Mention for 2012 will receive the remainder of 2011 at no charge.
We'd also like to congratulate Elizabeth Rowland at Strat-igence, who was the winner of our iPad Giveaway. And thanks again to PRSA, the speakers and all the attendees for a great conference!

- Founded in 1937, the Theatre Library Association supports librarians and archivists affiliated with theatre, dance, performance studies, popular entertainment, motion picture and broadcasting collections. TLA promotes professional best practices in acquisition, organization, access and preservation of performing arts resources in libraries, archives, museums, private collections, and the digital environment. By producing publications, conferences, panels, and public events, TLA fosters creative and ethical use of performing arts materials to enhance research, live performance, and scholarly communication."
Theatre Library Association: Symposium II
- "Performing arts libraries and archives play a critical role in recreating performance and supporting the construction of production histories. Research – in the context and breadth of collection documents – assumes a creative role in interpretation, artistic choices, and revisualization in production. In this sense, we posit the library as a living, breathing entity and proactive collaborator in restaging of works. Examining performance in its broadest sense - theater, dance, musicals, and film - we anticipate a dynamic dialogue between producers, directors, choreographers, librarians, archivists, dramaturgs, and scholars on this creative nexus between research and production, aesthetic questions of reinterpretation as works are updated for the present, ethical issues in determining artists' original intentions, and how the benefit of new technologies both facilitates and challenges the rebirth of classical works from previous eras."

Drying cocoa beans in rural Ghana (photo by Elke de Buhr)
Tulane University's Payson Center for International Development has been awarded a three-year, $1.5 million grant by the U.S. Department of Labor to conduct child labor surveys in the cocoa-growing areas in Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana. The funding is a follow-up to an earlier Department of Labor grant the Payson team received to collect data on West Africa's cocoa industry.
The survey data collected by the Payson Center will be used to measure trends in the worst forms of child labor in agriculture, including the cocoa sector, in these countries. As part of the new project, the Center also will design and implement training activities for the national statistical offices and other local stakeholders in Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana focusing on survey research and data analysis related to child labor in the cocoa sector. William E. Bertrand, Wisner Professor of Public Health in Tulane's School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, is the principal investigator of the project and Elke de Buhr, assistant professor at the Payson Center, is co-principal investigator.
Between 2006 and 2011, the Tulane-Department of Labor collaboration has monitored progress made in the cocoa sector of Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana toward the elimination of the worst forms of child labor and forced adult labor. Such monitoring is part of the Harkin-Engel Protocol, a voluntary agreement signed in September 2001 by the Chocolate Manufacturers Association and the World Cocoa Foundation and witnessed by the congressional offices of U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and U.S. Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.).
Tulane's previous research findings have been reported annually to Congress and are made available on the project's website.

I have noticed in the web client that if you have a message with an attachment to it that is in a folder that has been shared to you, you do not get the option to save the attachment directly to the briefcase.
For an attachment in your own mailbox you get links for "Download | Briefcase | Remove". If the attachment is in shared folder you just get "Download | Remove".
I am having a difficult time determining if there is any good reason for why this feature would be missing. Given that you have permission to retrieve or delete the attachment, it doesn't make much sense that you shouldn't also be able to directly deposit the attachment in the Briefcase.
I have noticed this in installations running 6.0.8 and 6.0.9.

Priti Bride
As I wait anxiously for my complete set of wedding photos, I wanted to take a minute and share this one above featuring my favorite nail polish, Priti NYC! (Photo by Volatile Photography)
I originally fell in love with the colors of the Priti Bridal Bouquet, however, upon learning that their polishes are completely non-toxic, I was hooked! My heart was set on Pink Jewel Carnation and it did not disappoint. It was the perfect amount of pink blush on my hands to compliment my pink shoes (more on those later).
The polish itself is flawless. No streaks, clumps or bubbles. It went on smooth and dried even prettier than I imagined; even the manicurist asked about the brand! I did the traditional 'something blue' on my toes and went with Dorothy Palm. My shoes were closed toe, but the color made me smile.When you have a chance, I'd highly recommend checking out Priti NYC. I can't wait to see what colors they have for 2013!

I have a user who receives large ASCII text files. The files do not have a .txt extension in their file name. The files are getting typed as octet/stream which makes opening them from a mail tool difficult. User must download/save and then open another tool to read a text file.
If I run the command "file" to determine the file type, it returns ASCII text. I am wondering why Zimbra is not identifying the file properly.
