Heading into the all-important July recruiting period, we take a look at recruiting needs and gameplans for the top 25 programs in college basketball. Next up, the North Carolina Tar Heels.
Where they are: A last-second 3-point shot away from a national title, North Carolina is coming off a 33-7 season in which the Tar Heels won the ACC regular-season title and then cruised to the championship game before falling to Villanova. Brice Johnson and Marcus Paige are the key departures from a season ago, with Johnson developing into one of the best big men in college basketball during his senior season. Paige had his ups and downs as a senior, but he made clutch shots late in the year and was a terrific four-year player for the Tar Heels. Joel James is also gone. Roy Williams brings in three ESPN 100 prospects, including five-star center Tony Bradley. Rising junior guard Joel Berry II took a major step last season, and Justin Jackson and Kennedy Meeks decided to return to Chapel Hill for another year instead of going to the NBA draft.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The New York Jets have retained several members of coach Rex Ryan's staff, including offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg and defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman.
Ryan, who recently agreed a multi-year extension, keeps most of his staff intact. Assistant head coach/running backs coach Anthony Lynn, defensive line coach Karl Dunbar, offensive line coach Mike Devlin and wide receivers coach Sanjay Lal all back after facing expiring contracts
The team announced Saturday that Bobby April III was promoted to linebackers coach after serving as quality control-defense last season. He replaces Brian VanGorder, who left to become the defensive coordinator at Notre Dame.
Ryan still needs to hire a special teams coordinator after Ben Kotwica left to take the same job with the Washington Redskins.

3rd World Farmer is a serious-thought-provoking online game and business strategy simulation activity for high school teens and college students where you have to manage an impoverished farm in a dried out desert area of Sub-Saharan Africa. This is an exceptional survival role-playing game online, and gives you a striking, first-hand insight into extreme rural poverty, and the hardships and challenges faced by the millions of starving, struggling farmers and families of developing nations. In 3rd World Farmer, you have to make tough moral and survival decisions in order to provide for your underprivileged family, while enduring droughts, disease, poverty, corruption and war. How ethical will you be when you desperately need to pay your rapidly-ailing family's food and medical bills? Will you accept virtual money to survive in return for storing chemical waste, and even housing terrorists?
The Deal: Your proactive mission is to help the head of the family turn this small farm in a developing nation into a commercial success. You must carefully budget and decide which crops to grow each year to sustain your family, and grow. There are several crops to choose from (corn, wheat, cotton and peanuts), and some prove more risky than others, providing potentially large earnings or huge losses. Make enough profit to invest in the necessary tools such as ploughs, harvesters and tractors to improve your crop yields. Increase your capital by investing wisely in essential buildings such as sheds, wells and barns. But remember, all investments have associated risks; wells can dry up, barns can be destroyed, and livestock may be stolen. Remember also - Do not become too greedy! You must first prioritize your family's health, or they may weaken, and be struck down by a deadly disease!
Have you got the skills to become an elite commercial pilot? If so - Attention! We have an urgent need for a skilled Boeing 737-400 operator to fly a number of challenging virtual missions.

As pilot and Captain, you must carefully maneuver your airplane through dangerous windy conditions, landing safely at faraway airports during the day, at night, under the stress of a blown engine, and more!
This really tricky 3D flying activity requires a lot of patience, a very cool head and a great deal of mouse-clicking skill. Some of your flights may last more than a few minutes, but every second is important as you attempt to complete your designated mission. Strap yourself in Captain – your new piloting career is about to take off!
Air Gunner is a high-speed plane shooting and strategy military game for kids, teens and adults, where you play the role of a backup airborne support (an anti-aircraft gunner protecting the forefront bomber plane) by shooting enemy planes out of the sky using various weapons that include a Submachine gun, Machine gun, Twin Machine gun, and more specialized artillery - a Mini-gun and Cannon. This is a full-on aerial assault by the enemy – an explosive action adventure not to be missed! To defend your bomber plane and its crew, requires a very steady nerve, excellent hand eye coordination, expert tactical knowledge of these weapons and their unique capabilities along with super-sharp shooting skills! With superb graphics and epic (true to life) sound and shooting effects, this test of skill and bravery will put you firmly in a war zone – right in the heart of the action and right on the edge!
OK Air Gunner, your job is to protect the bomber to the right of the game screen from a relentless airborne assault by enemy aircrafts. Make no mistake; it's going to get hairy up there! You start out with machine guns but once you score enough credit points, you can buy other more advanced weapons (that differ in terms of damage, accuracy, fire rate etc.). Your bomber is the one flying in front and you are flying alongside it – firing at approaching enemy planes from the left. Every time the enemy planes get a successful hit on your bomber plane, the bomber's health reduces. You can see the damage caused to your bomber in percentage numbers displayed beneath the plane. You have to shoot down all the enemy aircraft in order to pass each level. If your bomber runs out of health (from the non-stop enemy assault) it's game over – you've failed to protect. Once you pass a level, you can see how much bonus credit you have earned. You are now given the option to either upgrade your weapons arsenal or use the credit earned to repair damage to the bomber aircraft. Which would you choose - powerful weapons to protect a weakened plane or weaker weapons (used skillfully) to protect a healthier plane? You decide! You're the Air Gunner - you know the capabilities. OK, let's recap…Mission Summary: Take them down. Take them out. Get the job done. Good luck Soldier.
Awesome Racing Car Designers and Talented Inventors required fast! Calling on creative players who can construct their very own cool car and drive it to victory.

Pac-xon is a PacMan type of arcade game. The objective of the game is to fill at least 75% of the empty space with the blue tiles before one of the ghosts catches you. As soon as the necessary percentage of the space is filled, you proceed to the next level. However, this is not as easy as it may seem. The ghosts won't leave you alone; they will follow you wherever you go. If a ghost catches you – you lose one life.
Note, that at first, you are safe whenever you are in the blue area, however, as you progress through the levels, some of the ghosts become more powerful. They start to appear in the blue area as well. There is a way for you to get rid of those creatures. You can trap a ghost in a little jail by surrounding him with the blue tiles, so that the ghost wouldn't be able to escape. Some of the ghosts have super powers – they eat the blue tiles, thus reducing the blue area. Hence, the higher level you reach, the more challenges you face.
There are several power-ups that appear from time to time:
An Orange – you trade places with the ghosts; now you can eat them!
Cherries – you move faster.
Bananas – the ghosts move slower.
Ice-cream – the ghosts stagnate for a moment.

With a perfect overhead view of the battle field, players must race around the enclosed zone, collect weapon upgrades, and basically try to eliminate their opponent/s as quickly as possible!
Quick reactions and sharp keyboard tapping skills are key to tank-blasting success in this fun 2D Flash shooting game. Good battle strategy is also extremely important on the narrow maze battlefield. You really need to avoid enemy fire while getting yourself into good attacking positions. But are you the type of player who waits for your opponent to make the first move?

Enter the World War II Battle of Britain time period of 10 July – 31 October 1940, and shoot, bomb, dodge and defeat the invading Luftwaffe in an exciting, side-scrolling shooter!

Prepare for a feast of goals, gaffes, and super-fast football action with this wacky, soccer-ized mash-up of air-hockey and pinball! Football Heads 2014 World Cup is a fast and furious skill-based game for kids & teens where you must outscore your opponent in a hectic two-minute game of 'football heads'. Much like an eccentric version of table-football, this is a fun activity where you control a miniature bobble-headed soccer player, and must force the ball into your opponents net (by any means possible) to score a goal. You can score by kicking, heading, deflecting, pushing, and rebounding the ball in from all angles!
Featuring all 32 countries that qualified for the real-life World Cup in 2014, you get the opportunity to play as a mini-version of some of your favorite real-life soccer stars (Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Klose, Benzema, Rooney, and more!). There is also a 2 Player Mode where you can challenge your friends and family members!
Sharp reactions and keyboard-tapping skills are extremely important here as you try to predict the path of the rapidly-ricocheting soccer ball.

You have to build houses, bridges and other structures with your load, as well as quenching forest fires and helping cars across ravines.
Avoid dropping any items into the water, and carefully place them into the correct positions using your retractable ropes. In some levels, you'll be flying against the clock, so you'll need to utilize your quick reaction skills. Controlling the helicopter and managing the ropes simultaneously is extremely tricky, so you'll need nifty fingers in this fun skill activity. It will certainly test your creative engineering and multitasking skills, as you have to build structures while carefully maneuvering your helicopter and its cargo in order to succeed. This addicting helicopter game follows the laws of gravity, so keeping your aircraft and cargo balanced is the key. Ok Captain, can you handle that chopper? Good luck!

This superbly realistic action adventure is one of the most popular games on the web at time of posting. Once you sign in to play, you are immediately immersed in a highly interactive multiplayer shooting frenzy in "full-on" battles alongside gamers from all over the world. Take part in explosive tank-based conflicts that can feature anything from one to literally hundreds of players at a time! After joining either a 'Red' or 'Blue' team, you have to work alongside your colleagues to destroy opposition tanks, capture the enemy flag, collect vital upgrades, and generally help your team toward a supreme victory.
This amazingly in-depth and collaborative online strategy & skill-based war game requires very good decision making ability, and shrewd military tactics. You can either strive to be a real 'team player' who cooperates with his/her squad, or you can alternatively decide to be a "lone-wolf" fighter, skulking in the shadows and picking off enemies from afar! Either way, you definitely need super-fast reactions, hawkish observation skills, and nimble keyboard tapping in order to excel here (where the competition is just so fierce!). Choose your battles wisely, build up your reputation, and become one of the world's most feared and respected Tanki operators! However, will you survive the heat for long enough to wear your medals home with honor?
Important: Because this game has in-play purchasing options to upgrade (which require real money), any child or teen playing this game (for free or otherwise) should first have clearance from your parent, guardian or supervisor to do so (Simply by playing this game, you confirm that you do have that clearance and authorization at this time).
RedCar is a challenging and surprisingly addicting driving game where you have to maneuver a cool red sports car through a series of tricky mazes as fast as possible. While the premise and objective of the game is relatively simple, controlling the car at high speed through the narrow mazes can prove particularly difficult. One little touch off of the exterior walls of the maze, and BOOM – your car is unfortunately toast! Experienced and talented players should gain plenty of success by employing the 'drifting' technique whereby the driver locks the back wheels, and 'drifts' the car majestically through a tricky bend.
This easy-to-play yet intriguingly stimulating driving game requires supreme keyboard control as you try to sneak your sports car through the many slender twists and turns at speed. Quick reactions and a clear decision making process are also vitally important – you need to be able to identify the correct time to turn on the style, and also the correct time to play it safe. Your path to legendary driving status is literally laid out in front of you – it's time to grab the bull by the horns, put your foot to the floor, and show us your class behind the wheel. Happy drifting!

Turkish minister accepts Tokyo governor's apology for Istanbul insult

The Associated Press
Published Wednesday, May 1, 2013 7:44AM EDT
ISTANBUL, Turkey -- Turkey's sports minister has accepted the apology from the governor of Tokyo for criticizing Istanbul's bid for the 2020 Olympics.
Youth and Sports Minister Suat Kilic says "we now wish for a friendly competition between the candidate cities abiding by the criteria established by the IOC."
Tokyo Governor Naoki Inose apologized Tuesday after he was quoted in The New York Times as suggesting Istanbul was less developed and less equipped to host the games than the Japanese capital. Madrid is also bidding for the games.
Inose was also quoted as saying "the only thing (Muslim countries) share in common is Allah and they are fighting with each other, and they have classes."
Kilic says "we place the utmost importance on the friendship and mutual respect between the peoples of Turkey and Japan that date back for centuries."

US doctor rescued from Taliban in Afghanistan
Kabul: An American doctor abducted by the Taliban five days ago was rescued today in eastern Afghanistan, the US-led military coalition said.
Dilip Joseph was captured by Taliban insurgents Wednesday outside the Afghan capital, in the Sarobi district of Kabul province.
He was rescued in an early morning operation ordered after intelligence showed that the doctor was in imminent danger of injury or possible death, according to a statement.
"This was a combined operation of US and Afghan forces," said 1st Lt Joseph Alonso, a spokesman for US forces in Afghanistan. "Information was collected through multiple intelligence sources, which allowed Afghan and coalition forces to identify the location of Joseph and the criminals responsible for his captivity."
Gen John Allen, the top commander of US forces in Afghanistan, said the joint force planned, rehearsed and successfully conducted the operation.
"Thanks to them, Dr Joseph will soon be rejoining his family and loved ones," Allen said.
The statement did not say where Joseph is from, or whether he was harmed in captivity.
No other details of the rescue operation were immediately available.

GIMP vs. The World
High-end graphics editing in the commercial world has been defined by Adobe's Photoshop. It is so dominant and so prevalent that the name is frequently used as a verb, as in the line from the movie Cheaper by the Dozen "We'll photoshop her in later." In the free and open source world the standard of comparison is GIMP. GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program and was first released in January of 1996. The latest stable release is version 2.6. Many people add "The" in front of GIMP when referring to the program since they think it reads better, but officially it is just GIMP. (You don't say "The Photoshop", do you?)
Both Photoshop and GIMP are categorized as raster graphics editors. A raster graphics image is essentially an n by m array of pixels where n and m are the dimensions of the image. Each pixel represents a color and typically consists of three or four components. Traditional display systems use the three base colors of red, green and blue (RGB) to create a specific color. The print industry has traditionally used the four colors cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) for their purposes.
Understanding the image and color basics and the end product helps when evaluating software. GIMP really shines when it comes to enhancing or retouching digital photos. While it can be used for other tasks, it has come to be the open source tool of choice for professional photography enhancement. Vector graphics are a whole different story. Images based on vector graphics use geometric primitives such as curves, lines, points and polygons as the basic building blocks. In the rest of this article we'll look at the state of GIMP along with other tools for working with vector graphics-based images.

Furthermore, the default desktop environment has been migrated to the Beta of the upcoming KDE Plasma 5.7.

Huawei CEO: Will keep using Android as long as it's open
He made the said comment in a Weibo post, where-in he also noted that Google's mobile OS has promoted the development of smartphones, which in turn has benefited consumers. Interestingly, he didn't say anything about whether or not Huawei is developing an in-house mobile OS - said to be called Kirin OS. His silence on the matter, though, can be taken as a confirmation of sorts, especially when his comment reflects the possibility of Google restricting the companies' freedom with Android in future.

The election is over, so now what? Elections have consequences, and the consequence of this election for employers' employment policies is breathtaking. Have an arbitration policy? It is likely unenforceable. Rules protecting trade secrets? Likely unlawful. Work rules concerning technology use and even workplace violence? Possibly unenforceable. Want to know more?
The great majority of employers have no unions, and little familiarity with the National Labor Relations Act and its enforcers. That is going to change and it impacts union-free employers in all of the ways discussed above. In the past, the extent of most union-free employers' interaction with the National Labor Relations Act has been confined to having the right rules concerning solicitation, wearing buttons, and using company email. No more. The current National Labor Relations Board and Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon have recently issued a number of opinions directed at making the union-free employer's life more difficult.

"It is my pleasure to recommend Howard and the healthcare team at Burr & Forman. From issues related to medical staff bylaws, through numerous regulatory compliance and certificate-of-need applications, to the successful resolution of the largest Medicare recoupment effort against a private medical practice; Howard has always been a knowledgeable counselor, keen advisor and staunch advocate for the hospitals and medical practices I have managed.
Howard's record of accomplishment is broad and impressive. He is quick to respond when called. His advocacy style is reassuring as he blends superior organizational skills, subject matter expertise and a willingness to listen and grasp the full understanding of his client's needs and objectives.
This recommendation is made without reservation because for nineteen years, when my own reputation was at stake, I have introduced Howard to the organizations I manage. In every case, the organization has benefitted greatly as he has managed to achieve the best outcomes possible."
-G. Thomas Brown, CEO, Eye Specialty Group and Ridge Lake Ambulatory Surgery Center
"Burr & Forman is the best firm we have had work for us. The lawyers are knowledgeable, responsive, and have a depth of expertise in all areas. We have a high level of confidence in their representation of our company."
-Best Lawyers 2012
"We work predominantly with Ed Brown. He has a couple of people alongside him providing support – Kathryn Bouchillon and Harvey Daniels. Both are very good."
-Chambers 2012
"Like any commercial litigation practice, it takes a while to get completely up to speed on how a client's corporation works. Once the understanding was there, Burr & Forman put their head down and worked very hard for excellent results."

When independent contractors are acting as a company's agents, the company is liable for their actions, according to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2003.
While this is a long-held common-law principle, the court's decision actually protects individual owners of the company from liability arising from the actions of an independent contractor.
The case involved a charge of racial discrimination by a real estate agent in violation of the Fair Housing Act. The Supreme Court ruled that the agent and company could be sued, but not the officers or owners of a company in cases when the law specifically forbids individual suits against the owners. Meyer v. Holley et al., 537 U.S. 280 (2003)
Note: The Fair Housing Act doesn't allow individual lawsuits or authorize personal liability for employees who violate the law. Be aware, however, that supervisors and managers can be sued individually under both the Family and Medical Leave Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act.

The economy.
It's what Ohioans most often say when asked what troubles them. But what they mean when they say "the economy" requires asking when they were born and how life's been since they began working.
Ohioans, like most Americans, have fractured views of how to strengthen the fragile economic recovery of the past eight years, though many vaguely agree that more good-paying jobs might do it.

"I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it!"
It's easy to tell that violinist Jenny Oaks Baker is all smiles over the news of her Grammy nomination — even in a quick conversation over the phone as she picked her 5-year-old up from preschool.
Baker's latest album, "Wish Upon a Star: A Tribute to the Music of Walt Disney," was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Pop Instrumental Album category Wednesday night.
The Utah native is among the most accomplished violinists in America. She made her solo debut when she was only 8 years old and, as a Julliard-trained musician, she soloed with the National Symphony Orchestra, Jerusalem Symphony and Utah Symphony among others. She has released 10 best-selling albums since 1998, with "Then Sings My Soul," hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Classical Charts.
Baker estimated that there were about 120-130 artists vying for the nomination in her category and she found herself in the top five in one night.
But she's simply grateful for the nomination.
"I think this album is one of my very best for sure," she said, adding that she owes much of that to Emmy-award winning Kurt Bestor's arrangements.
She called Bestor's arrangements "so sophisticated."
"They're arrangements that people want to hear over and over."
Baker detailed Shadow Mountain Records' campaign to get her album nominated — the nomination process was a first-time experience for the record company as well.
"This is kind of our first shot at it," she said, "and we did it."
"It made a big splash with the Grammy voters." Part of that, perhaps, was the music her album highlighted.
"I think Disney speaks to people on so many levels," Baker said. "I think it's just really universal coming at a time when some people need some magic and hope."
On the possibility of being awarded a Grammy, she said, "If we can get the word out even more, I think that we'll have a really good shot at the award."
Baker is grateful to a constantly supportive fan base and to the composers, producers and arrangers who have provided the kind of repertoire necessary to help her be successful.
This is a major turning point in Baker's career and she feels she's finally coming into her own as an artist.
"I know Heavenly Father gave me a gift and he wants me to share it. I'm slowly finding that path and it feels really great."
Grammy or no Grammy, her sights are set on a greater accomplishment.
"I'm grateful my music has made a difference in so many lives. That's really what it's about," she said.

In the fall of 1966, teacher Eliot Wigginton and his students at the Rabun Gap
– embarked on a mission to interview older community residents and document the skills, traditions, experiences, and history of the Appalachian culture they all shared. All told, this oral history program, set in the southern Appalachian hills of Georgia, would last for decades and produce books, records, videotapes, a museum, a Web site, a Hollywood movie, and an ongoing magazine. The program is still active under the auspices of the Foxfire Fund Inc. Maintaining the program's original purpose, Foxfire has continued to empower students by giving them a sense of pride, ownership, and responsibility in both the products of the program and the continuation of the Appalachian way of life. Nacoochee School
Early History
Foxfire Athens, Georgia, at a young age. He attended college at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where he received an undergraduate degree and a master's degree in English. He also received a master's degree in English from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1969. Intent on becoming a teacher, he found employment at the Rabun Gap–Nacoochee School, located in Rabun County in the northeast corner of Georgia. Wigginton soon discovered that many of his students were "hostile, bored and rambunctious," in the words of educational historian John Puckett. In an attempt to spark their interest, Wigginton suggested starting a magazine as a school project, and ideas were pitched—including collecting folklore from local residents. The idea for the project came about in part through discussions Wigginton had with guests at the nearby Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences, also in Rabun County.
The students decided to name their magazine Foxfire after the blue-green glow given off by bioluminescent lichens growing on decaying logs. Foxfire was a learning experience for both Wigginton and his students since no one had any
television movie starring Cronyn and his wife, Jessica Tandy.
While generally successful, Foxfire encountered a dark period during the 1990s. In November 1992, Wigginton pleaded guilty to charges of child molestation and received a sentence of nineteen years' probation and one year in jail. As part of his sentence, Wigginton had to resign from teaching. After being released from prison, Wigginton left Rabun Gap and is no longer associated with Foxfire. The Foxfire project, however, continues; working together as a staff, students specialize in writing and editing, marketing, subscriptions, and senior editor duties. Topics covered in the biannual magazine vary widely and include preserving and cooking food, folklore, recipes, gardening, farming, religion, community life, beekeeping, ghost stories, tall tales, personal histories, hunting and slaughtering, corn shuckings, weaving, washing clothes, granny women (midwives), burial customs, riddles, and music.
Educational Approach
Foxfire Movement
Starting with one teacher in one school in north Georgia, Foxfire spawned a grassroots movement of "cultural
In 2015 Foxfire received a Governor's Award for the Arts and Humanities.

There are times when five weeks can seem like a very long time.
Ben Cherington was introduced as the Red Sox general manager all the way back on Oct. 25. At the time, charged with the task of identifying the next Red Sox manager, Cherington suggested that prior big league experience in that role was a bonus but not a prerequisite.
"Previous managerial experience would be a benefit, but we're not going to put ourselves in a box by requiring that," Cherington said. "We'll certainly consider those that have previous managerial experience but also those who don't. We need the right person. I don't think we can afford to put ourselves in any sort of box in our effort to find the right person."
The ensemble of early candidates made it appear as if experience was little more than an afterthought. The team brought in, in order, 60-year-old Pete Mackanin, the Phillies bench coach; 48-year-old Dale Sveum, then the Brewers hitting coach; 45-year-old Sandy Alomar Jr., who was preparing for his first full year as Indians bench coach; and 46-year-old Torey Lovullo, the Blue Jays first base coach. Mike Maddux, the 50-year-old pitching coach of the Rangers, initially accepted and then turned down the opportunity to interview.
Of those five candidates, only Mackanin and Sveum had big league managerial experience. Both of their jobs came with an interim label.
And so, based on that group, it appeared that the Sox were likely focused on an up-and-coming manager between the ages of 45 and 50 with experience as a major league coach but not necessarily as a big league manager, someone whose coaching career had occurred in an era when the boundaries between the manager's office and the front office had become more porous.
It seemed like almost an afterthought when the Sox brought in Tigers third base coach Gene Lamont, 64, to interview for the position two days before the start of the GM meetings. Lamont seemed like a compare-and-contrast exercise, a veteran manager with eight years of experience at the helm of a team, albeit none since 2000. There were suggestions that Lamont might be interviewing as much as a possible bench coach -- the perfect complement to a young, first-time manager -- as he was for the manager's job.
Yet just under five weeks since Cherington was hired, and just more than two weeks since Lamont interviewed, the shape of the Red Sox' search is very different. Mackanin was eliminated from consideration early. Sveum got the Cubs job before the Sox felt comfortable making an offer. Alomar was told that he was too inexperienced at this time. Lovullo, as of Friday, had not received an invitation for a second-round interview.
And, perhaps most surprisingly, former Rangers, Mets and Chiba Lotte Marines manager Bobby Valentine was added to the mix last week. Valentine's interview with members of the Red Sox front office occurred just before Lamont met with team owners in the second round of the managerial process.
The result? The two finalists for the position are Lamont and Valentine. Both are in their 60s. Both are veterans of two prior managing jobs in the big leagues.
Somewhere along the line, it appears that the Sox felt that there was something to be said for age, experience and a proven track record over youth and promise in the manager's dugout. Cherington acknowledged at the GM meetings -- before Sveum was hired by the Cubs, and before the interview with Valentine was scheduled -- that there had been a reconsideration of the profile sought by the team.
"I'm not dissatisfied with the candidates we have. It's just we feel like there are some unique circumstances here," he explained. "This is not just any manager's job. This is one where we do feel we're ready to win and there are challenges that related to what happened to what happened last year and just generally in the Boston market, as you guys know. …
"We've learned a lot as we've sort of asked each other questions both within baseball operations and with ownership about what is it really that we need right now for this team. So through that process, it's sort of, I think forced all of us to consider whether the current group, whether we're sort of looking at this in a broad enough way to really make the right decision. Our manager may very well come from the group of candidates that we've already interviewed. At this point, we may not limit ourselves to that."
Within a day, Sveum was gone without an offer from the Sox and the team had scheduled a visit with Valentine. It appeared to be a dramatic change of course.
Insofar as age and experience have become central elements of the Sox' managerial search, it is worth examining the profile of World Series-winning managers. That, after all, is the focus of the Red Sox.
The team is not interested necessarily in seeing a manager who requires training wheels before he is ready to guide the Sox to the top of the hill. Instead, the Sox want someone who is in position to help them win in 2012 and beyond, someone who will give the team a chance to win while it still has centerpieces such as Jacoby Ellsbury and Jon Lester under contract.
Based on the last half-century (and change), are World Series-winning managers more often men who are new to the job or recycled after having taken their lumps with another big league team? Are they more often in their 40s, 50s or 60s (thus offering occasion to invigorate conversations about quadragenarians, quinquagenarians and sexagenarians)?
Here is a look at the age and experience profiles of the 51 World Series-winning managers since 1960:
Just three managers (Bob Brenly with the Diamondbacks in 2001, Dallas Green with the Phillies in 1980 and Ralph Houk with the push-button Yankees in 1961) have won World Series in their first season of their first big league managerial job. Three more (Houk with the push-button Yankees in 1962, Ozzie Guillen with the White Sox in 2005 and Tom Kelly with the Twins in 1987) won in the second year of their first managerial jobs.
While 21 of the last 51 World Series have been won by managers in their first stint as a big league skipper, more than half of those (11) have been in at least their fourth year in that job (including Walter Alston and Tommy Lasorda, who won a total of three World Series more than a decade into their "first" – and only – jobs as manager).
In contrast, eight veteran managers have won the World Series in the first year of a second, third or fourth job. Most recently, Francona (2004, second job), Torre (1996, fourth job) and McKeon (2003, fourth job) fit that bill.
Five more -- most recently, Joe Girardi with the Yankees in 2009 -- won in the second year of a job that was not their first. Six more World Series have been won by managers in the third year of a job that was not their first.
Of the last 51 World Series, 29 have been won by teams with managers in their first three years on the job. Of those 29, 19 (65 percent) had prior managerial experience before getting hired by the team with whom they won it all.
Life begins at 60. Or, at least, it now seems to.
This is a golden age for managers with AARP memberships. Of the last 51 managers to win the World Series, just five have been 60 or older. However, four of those managers have won titles in the last nine years.
Tony La Russa walked off into the sunset this offseason after winning his third World Series in his "age 66" season (he turned 67 during the playoffs). He also claimed a title with the Cardinals in 2006, in a month when his odometer clicked from 61 to 62. In 2008, Charlie Manuel (64) led the Phillies to a title. Jack McKeon became the oldest manager ever to win a World Series in 2003, at the age of 72.
That recent run represents a somewhat startling departure from the prior four-plus decades of championships. In the previous 44 years, more titles had gone to managers in their 30s (two: Tom Kelly in 1987 and Earl Weaver in 1970) than in their 60s (one: Tommy Lasorda in 1988).
The average age of the World Series-winning manager since 1960 is 49 years old, a mark that has been bumped up about a year by the recent triumphs of La Russa, Manuel and McKeon. The slight majority (26 of the last 51) of championships since 1960 have been won by teams with managers under the age of 50. Examples from the last 10 years include Francona (in both of the Sox' championship seasons), Joe Girardi, Ozzie Guillen and Mike Scioscia.
If the Sox simply wanted to go by the numbers, the safest bet for a manager ready to hit the ground running in pursuit of a championship would be to hire someone with prior experience. After all, just once in the last 30 years (Brenley in 2001) has a manager in the first year of his first job ended the season with a World Series ring.
Put another way: Would Francona have been up for the task of guiding the Sox to the 2004 World Series without both his maiden managerial voyage in Philadelphia and the subsequent years he had to take a step back for a critical analysis of the manager's job? Would Joe Maddon -- runner-up to Francona in the Sox' last managerial search -- have been ready to lead the Sox to the title in his first-ever managing job?
In both cases, maybe, maybe not. The answer is ultimately both individual and circumstantial. And there is a danger to this sort of exercise, in which an outcome (a bunch of second-, third- and fourth-time managers winning titles) can be confused for a cause.
If they were playing by the numbers, the Sox would also likely seek someone in his mid-40s to mid-50s for the job. However, recent evidence suggests that it is more likely for a manager in his 60s to lead a team to a title than it is for a first-time manager to win a ring in his first year on the job.
What to make of those numbers? Perhaps nothing, aside from noting that not a single one of the candidates interviewed by the Sox fit the mold of a) an experienced manager who b) was in his 40s or 50s.
That, in turn, may say as much as (if not more) about the managerial pool than it does about the Red Sox' search. So, too, does the fact that the White Sox (Robin Venture) and Cardinals (Mike Matheny) both hired managers with zero days of big league coaching experience -- never mind managing experience -- to guide their clubs, while the Cubs hired a man who is more or less a managerial novice in Sveum.
As Cherington has noted on a few occasions, the Sox are looking to hire the right person for the job rather than the perfect one. After all, the perfect manager simply may not be out there for the Sox to select right now.
