Mikey Garcia Stunned With Murder of Rafael Guzman
By Keith Idec
NEW YORK — Mikey Garcia couldn't help but think of his last opponent this week while preparing for his fight against Juan Carlos Martinez on Saturday night.
The undefeated featherweight contender was stunned to learn Rafael Guzman, whom Garcia knocked out in the fourth round June 4 in Los Angeles, was murdered Monday in his native Guadalajara, Mexico.
"It's sad to see someone like that go," Garcia said. "The guy was a good fighter, he had a good career still ahead of him, and he could still have done more in boxing. I don't know why he was murdered, but I can only imagine it must be very hard for his family. My prayers and condolences go to his family."
Guzman, 25, reportedly was shot eight times by gunmen who remain at large. They shot Guzman from a moving vehicle.
The young boxer was pronounced dead when police arrived at the scene.
Guzman went 28-3-1 (20 KOs) during his five-year pro career. He settled for a majority draw in his most recent bout, a 12-rounder against Venezuela's Rafael Hernandez (13-3-2, 11 KOs, 1 NC) on Aug. 20 in Manzanillo, Mexico.
That bout came 2½ months after Garcia beat him in a fight HBO televised from Staples Center before the Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.-Sebastian Zbik middleweight title fight.
"He was tough," Garcia, 23, said. "Just to take a fight like that on short notice, you've got to have heart and confidence in yourself. I knew he was getting ready for a fight coming up, like a week or two after my fight [on June 4], and when they offered him my fight he took it. So he was also training. It wasn't like he was out on the streets. He was training.
"But he came to fight. That first round, he came out swinging. He hit hard and I felt his punches. I was expecting a longer fight, from what I had seen [of Guzman], but I was lucky enough to hurt him in that fourth round and stop him. So the fight ended sooner, but I knew he was going to be tough."
Garcia (26-0, 22 KOs), of Oxnard, Calif., and Martinez (19-12-1, 7 KOs), a Mexican journeyman, will square off in a non-televised 10-rounder on the Nonito Donaire-Omar Narvaez undercard in The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

Whiskey Tasting
Whiskey Tasting has never been finer than the great "Whiskey Wednesday" evenings at Andre's Cigar Lounge on the Las Vegas Strip.
Packed with whiskey and scotch lovers at all levels of "expertise," these Whiskey Tasting Events take place the first Wednesday of the month at Las Vegas' renowned Cigar Lounge on the 2nd floor of Andre's Restaurant in the Monte Carlo Casino.
The next Andre's Cigar Lounge "Whiskey Wednesday" is scheduled for Aug. 1st, 2012, 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., and features a wallop of a treat – an evening of Single Malt Scotch tasting. Tickets are just $25 with RSVP – call (702) 798-7151 – or $35 at the door.
Given that Las Vegas' first Celebrity Chef Andre´Rochat has avidly collected whiskeys, cognacs and armagnacs for more than 40 years, you can be assured that these renowned Las Vegas Whiskey Tasting Events always feature the world's finest – and rarest – selections. For August's "Whiskey Wednesday at Andre's," we'll be tasting through the Scottish Lowlands, with Single-Malts from Auchentoshan, Glenkinchie, and a specialty Auchentoshan bottling from Duncan Taylor.
Auchentoshan Single Malt Scotch Whisky is produced near Glasgow and is nicknamed "the breakfast whisky" because of its sweeter, fruitier nature. Established in 1800, Auchentoshan is the only distillery in Scotland to have a third still. The triple distillation creates a very smooth single malt scotch. At the same time, the triple "dip" takes the spirit from the average 70% proof to about 81%, creating a subtle whisky that then matures beautifully in oak.
Auchentoshan's 16- year and 18-year old scotches have received double gold medals, and its "Three Wood" won "the best Scotch Whisky and Cigar Combination" at a recent World Spirits Competition in San Francisco.
Glenkinchie is produced in East Lothian, Scotland, about 15 miles from Edinburgh. Set in rolling farmland, the distillery is one of only three remaining Lowland malt whiskies in production in the world. With origins that date back to 1825, the founding brothers, John and George Rate, renamed the distillery to Glenkinchie in 1837, and it's never missed a year of production. Glenkinchie features a 10-year, a 12-year and a 14-year-0ld Distiller's Edition that is double matured in sherry casks. Noted for its fresh and light character, Glenkinchie is considered a phenomenal introduction to the world of Single Malt Scotch.
Mark your calendar now for Whiskey Wednesday, Aug. 1st! We recommend you RSVP in advance as tickets tend to sell out quickly. Call (702) 798-7151 for $25 tickets (they are $35 at the door).
P.S. And if single-malt scotch doesn't suit your fancy, come on down to Andre's Cigar Lounge anyway, and peruse our spirits list boasting one of the three largest cognac collections in the world.

As the Senate prepares to consider the bipartisan Cybersecurity Act of 2012 a number of amendments are being tacked on, including one addressing federal data center consolidation.
The cybersecurity legislation – the latest version a compromise bill that was announced July 24 – now has more than 70 amendments, according to Senate floor remarks from Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), who introduced the bill. He urged senators to refrain from adding amendments not pertinent to cybersecurity issues.
One amendment, filed by Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), targets enforcement of the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative, which was launched last year by the Office for Personnel Management. The plan was designed to shutter at least 1,100 of the government's roughly 3,000 data centers and was pegged at more than $2 billion in savings.
The amendment would put further weight behind the initiative, which some agencies have been slow to implement, according to a July 31 release from Bennet's office.
"There are commonsense steps we can take right now to cut the deficit, reduce waste and make the most efficient use of taxpayer dollars," Bennet said in the release. "The Administration has already identified this as a cost saving measure that will help reduce spending on IT needs, energy consumption, and real estate. This amendment will require the federal agencies to get the job done."
The amendment would mandate that agencies submit to OMB a complete inventory and consolidation plan for their data centers, as well as provide annual updates on progress over the next five years, among other provisions aimed at accountability.
According to Bennet's office, the amendment would "conserve energy, save taxpayer dollars and reduce government waste."
The Senate is slated to take up the bill this week, although it's not clear when exactly that will happen, as Senate Democrats and Republicans are working toward an agreement on the amendments that will make it into the legislation.
In other news related to the pending cybersecurity bill, TechAmerica in a July 30 letter to Senate leaders, announced support for the bill and laid out recommended priorities for the Senate to consider.
Shawn Osborne, TechAmerica's president and CEO, endorsed parts of the bill addressing FISMA reform; research and development; education, workforce and awareness improvement; and international cooperation.
He outlined refinements to the bill that would expand on the bill's measures addressing public-private partnership in securing critical infrastructure, information-sharing and network monitoring.

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Is anyone else worried about a single point of failure related to all of this proposed data center consolidation?
Our experience so far has been an anticipated slight increase in overall annual (recurring) costs. There is also the substantial one time cost as well. Unfortunately our DCC provider hasn't provided their costs yet so we really have no idea. We assume that since our costs are very efficient they will be equal to us (commercial pricing indicates costs will increase but... the government can do it for less :)The reason the cost goes up in the long term is because our application developers now have to coordinate with non-local resources. There is no savings to existing on-site systems because we can't decommission any of them (sure a VM here and possibly a blade or 2 there). The infrastructure itself has to remain to sustain the capabilities the DCC cannot take. A substantial part of our infrastructure is keep-the-lights on things (vulnerability scanning, patch management, domain controllers, monitoring, authentication verification, host based security) and the rest can't move because of the required proximity to engineers and their military representative systems. DCCs only save money if 1) the infrastructure hasn't been updated to virtualized/SAN/blade systems and you are now avoiding the cost of doing so (or you foolishly just want to replace pizza boxes with more pizza boxes) or 2) they take everything a site has (not practical in many cases). The cost savings of these measures are grossly overestimated. Just like many previous initiatives there are reasons to do it (centralized management, consistent policy, etc.). Cost isn't one of them.
Data center lobbyists trying to get money mandated by law re-directed to them.
My problem is that decision are being made on these systems without consideration on mission impact. Many systems cannot or should not be consolidated and some redundancy is necessary for COOP. So far it hasn't been much more than an inconvenience for us, although an expensive one since plans have had to be revised. I'm just concerned that at some point we will be crippled by this, putting our troops in danger.
Data center consolidation is more hype than substance, since most of them are in government-owned space anyway. Still have to provide utilities and security even if the space is sitting empty. 'Rent' paid from one federal agency to another doesn't really exist- it is just an accounting fiction. And if the space is empty, the landlord agency will just raise the 'rent' on the remaining footprint.

Google wants judge to dismiss four charges in Oracle suit
Google is hoping to head off some of the complaints Oracle has made against it by asking a California judge for permission to file summary judgment on four issues.

Google's bid to acquire Motorola Mobility is a brilliant move that will stave off Android's patent attackers. Or it's act of desperation that will force Android phone makers to adopt rival platforms. Or it was simply something that Google had to do, ...

Taiwanese smartphone vendor HTC plans on tripling its retail outlets in mainland China by the end of the year, bringing store numbers from 650 to 2,000.
Google is paying a premium for Motorola Mobility, the recently spun-off device maker from Motorola proper. But for the $12.5 billion it's paying, Google likely is more interested in Motorola's patents than its phones.
Google's $12.5 billion purchase of Motorola Mobility will land it a vast portfolio of patents, but the legal obstacles facing its Android operating system are far from over, legal experts said.
Google continues to argue that a damning e-mail in its battle with Oracle shouldn't be shown to jurors because it was confidential and intended to be privileged communication with an attorney.

Google is apparently sick of being pushed around by patent attorneys from Microsoft and Apple.
Google has agreed to acquire Motorola Mobility to "supercharge the Android ecosystem" and protect Android against aggressive patent litigation from competitors such as Apple and Microsoft, according to company CEO Larry Page.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Businessweek: Rappers Are Lying about How Much Money They Make
It's not uncommon for certain hip-hop stars to brag about how much money they have, but according to Bloomberg Businessweek, most of them are totally lying. This funny infograph (warning, a few of the lyrics referenced contain profanities) compares actual song lyrics making bold claims about personal income to actual personal income. The biggest offender? Pitbull, who claims to "make dollars, I mean billions," made just under $10 million last year. That's still pretty successful, but unless his career lasts for 100 years, he probably won't make it into the billion-dollar category …

That is assuming they are making all their money legally. A lot of their lyrics reference cash in relation to pimping. Snoop Dog admits to being a Pimp, and that can bring in several thousand per girl per day. And let's not even start talking about drugs . . . .

Cubs "Hits" Of The Week (For the Week of 4/21 through 4/27)
Quotation marks make their first appearance in the Hits of the Week headline since this week's list includes two walks.
So here they are, the five hits...er, that is, offensive events...that did the most to enhance the Cubs' chance of winning during the past week, as measured by FanGraphs' Win Probability Added (WPA):
#5 Big Hit: Tuesday, v. the Mets, 4th inning-- With the bases loaded and two out and the Cubs already leading 1-0, Reed Johnson drives a single to left field, scoring Ronny Cedeno and Henry Blanco, and the Cubs' margin is three, which, on a day when the Mets can't seem to get an important hit, is more than margin enough.

#4 Big Hit: Thursday, v. Colorado, 8th inning-- The Cubs are down a run to Aaron Cook with two men aboard and nobody out, when pinch-hitter Daryle Ward works Cook for a walk to load the bases. (The promising inning will only produce one run and a tie, which the Rox will break in the last of the 8th). WPA .155
#3 Big Hit: Friday, v.Washington, 8th inning -- In the Cubs' first game at new Nationals Park, Matt Murton, suffering from that uncomfortable allergy to base hits, is sent in to bat with the bases loaded, one out, and the Cubs down a run. Murton takes a walk and ties the game...which Washington catcher Wil Nieves will eventually untie with his game-winning home run one inning later. WPA .196
#2 Big Hit: Wednesday, v. Colorado, 10th inning -- This, boys and girls, is what is meant by clutch. After Kerry Wood failed to protect a one-run lead in the last of the ninth inning, and after Reed Johnson failed to bring in the lead runner from second with one out in the top of the tenth, Theriot punches a run-scoring single to right field, scoring Mike Fontenot and giving the Cubs a second one-run lead, a lead which Carlos Marmol does not fail to protect. WPA .351
#1 Big Hit: Wednesay, v. Colorado, 9th inning -- Wednesday's ninth and tenth innings were a swell couple of frames for Win Probabilty Added. Kerry Wood wouldn't have had a one-run lead to not protect and Ryan Theriot wouldn't have had a chance to plate the game-winning run were it not for the fact that in the top of the ninth, with the Cubs trailing 5-4, Aramis Ramirez lofted a two-run homer into the left field stands at Coors Field, scoring Felix Pie, giving the Cubs a brief 6-5 advantage, and knocking the Rockies' Manny Corpas right out of the Colorado closer's job. (This is what is meant by really clutch.) WPA .640

Re: Cubs "Hits" Of The Week (For the Week of 4/21 through 4/27)
Anyone else feel that just maybe Steve Rosenbloom might be blowing things a little out of proportion when he recommends that Lou should start putting the pitcher batting 8th behind Soto in the lineup? He acts as if Soto is some sort of Rob Bowen type.... He has had two bad games in a row. Don't get me wrong - they were pretty ugly, but the guy is still hitting over .300, and is ranked 3rd among rookies...
Re: Cubs "Hits" Of The Week (For the Week of 4/21 through 4/27)
the NL-pitcher-8th thing is gaining a stupid amount of steam...2 teams already doing it and the national media is picking up on it more and more.
that's great stuff. soto's not doing well so let's put a guy who hits worse and with less power in his slot. brilliant. that guy should be damn good at getting a 2-3 run 450ft. bunt down with the 5/6/7 guys on base.
if soto needs protection so badly move HIS horrible hitting ass up to the 7 slot and let someone more selective handle the pitch-around slot. the pitch-around slot isn't going anywhere even if you move it up earlier.
Re: Pitcher Hitting 8th
it's gaining a "stupid amount of steam" probably because it's pretty solid statstical theory that is doing pretty well in practice. Pretty much most lineup analysis says put your worst hitter in the 8th spot.
Granted it goes against all things holy in baseball and it's possible dogs and cats will start living together soon, but it certainly hasn't done anything to hurt the two clubs employing it currently.
Re: Pitcher Hitting 8th
the most important thing about these analysises i have issue with is most treat the #8 slot as if its the same as the #9 or #7 or #1 slots...
there is probably no greater "generalized" way to go about attacking 1 slot vs. another as there is the pitcher's slot vs. the batter directly before the pitcher.
the whole idea of getting the out over with by moving the slot up earlier and giving protection to your former weak hitter by giving him security later doesn't really do it for me.
i see the whole thing as a way to correct an issue with certain players, but i believe if you want to give that guy protection you put someone else in the 8 slot and move your troubled guy to the 7 slot if they really need that protection. a big problem for most teams is their 7 and 8 slot hitters are usually interchangle suck. i dont see sticking an even worse player higher up being an efficient way to tackle the issue, though.
besides, this is the NL...the double switch league...a pitcher's slot is the most mobile of all lineup slots.
Re: Pitcher Hitting 8th
Aren't we talking about a difference of 4 or 5 runs a year at most? I mean, that's half a win and those could be game-winning runs, sure. And I'm all in favor of maximizing runs. But I think this is one time where we don't have enough evidence to convict or acquit.
That is, batting your worst hitter 8th may be better on paper, but what about the stigma on the 9th hitter? Does his performance wane by more than the 4 or 5 runs a year in the new lineup? Can psychological factors affect his hitting that way?
Or, once everyone is hitting this way, does that stigma simply disappear--and we get his normal production?
I'm really not the best person to make this argument, given that I'm mostly a believer in the story the numbers tell. But for whatever reason, I'm curious about the psychological factor on this decision. Probably because I'm biased against it.
Probably because I can't stand Tony Larussa.
Re: Pitcher Hitting 8th
a lot of criticism points to it being a wash either way...
too many loose studies that totally ignore the impact of a hitter batting before a pitcher show a slight edge to batting the pitcher 8th. too many see it as a static that is influenced solely by batting position, not who's before or after you.
you pretty much trade off run production from your 5/6/7 hitters in exchange for giving top of the lineup guys more rbi chances.
on a cubs-08 specific level there's those that would welcome more rbi chances for soriano...there's also those who question why the guy who hits 30hr/40doubles with low ob% is batting first because he was a 30sb guy 2 seasons and 2 leg injuries ago who some believe has a mental block outside of the 1 slot...
all in all its considered a 'wash' by most observers...
Re: Cubs "Hits" Of The Week (For the Week of 4/21 through 4/27)
The key point in all of this is that Rosenbloom is a douchebag.
Re: Cubs "Hits" Of The Week (For the Week of 4/21 through 4/27)
Yeah, but what really seems silly is that his assertion that Soto is not hitting well is based on two games. Before that, if I recall correctly, Soto was on a tear.
What do you call eight strikeouts in a row?
Kryptonite sombrero? 5 is platinum.
Re: Cubs "Hits" Of The Week (For the Week of 4/21 through 4/27)
I was reading over at Desipio and came across this info, prob old news by now...
A lot of us couldn't figure out why Lou would pinch run for Derrek Lee with one out in a one run game on Wednesday night in Denver. Felix didn't try to steal second, so why was he in? Hell, Lee could have jogged around the bases on E-ramis' homer as well as Felix did. Lou explained that Rockies pitcher Manny Corpas tries to pitch with a slide step when there's a basestealer on, and not only does Manny struggle with it, but he can't throw his slider very well without his normal stride. Felix went in, Manny went to the slide step, E-ramis sat on the fastball and homered. How cool is that?
I think that is pretty cool. A manager who knows what the hell is going on.
Also Pie is hitting like .400 since Lou benched him and started working on his swing.
Just more things Dusty's fat ass couldnt be bothered to deal with or even know. Dusty managed on "instincts" damn it.
Re: Cubs "Hits" Of The Week (For the Week of 4/21 through 4/27)
Wow -- that's awesome. Bob Brenley was basically berating Lou for not having Pie steal, as was I.
Justin Berg promoted to AAA
Berg, 23, struck out 10 batters and walked 11 in 28 1/3 innings, going six innings or more in three of his five starts this season. Opponents batted .264 against Berg.
"His record is not indicative of how he's pitched here," Tennessee pitching coach Dennis Lewallyn said of Berg. "He's throwing the ball well and he has matured a lot as a person."
Reds Players starting to turn against Dusty?
Freel is not happy. Seems Dusty's loyalty to Patterson is partly to blame.
We never saw this coming.... Ha!
Re: Reds Players starting to turn against Dusty?
well to be fair, Corey won't wilt under the April heat...
Re: Cubs "Hits" Of The Week (For the Week of 4/21 through 4/27)
This will shock you all:
I believe in having the pitcher bat 8th.
Re: Cubs "Hits" Of The Week (For the Week of 4/21 through 4/27)
I don't have anything against it if there's a good reason to bat him eighth.

Re: Perusing the minor league stats
...and Galagher was cruising along for about 4 innings last night when the wheels came off. ERA now over 3.00
Re: Perusing the minor league stats
If Gallagher can keep up that 5:1 K:BB ratio he'll be a superstar. Likely to drop off a bit, and even more so when he eventually gets called up, but 3:1 would still be fantastic.
Re: Cubs "Hits" Of The Week (For the Week of 4/21 through 4/27)
From the "Worse Move Than Matt Morris" Department:
"San Francisco moved $126 million ace Barry Zito into the bullpen on Monday, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney."
Brian Sabean has a job how, exactly?
Re: Cubs "Hits" Of The Week (For the Week of 4/21 through 4/27)
Wow. You can point the finger at Sabean if you want, but there were several other teams (at least four) willing to shell out big bucks for Zito. If I remember correctly, he had a rough start last year, too. Maybe he's just a slow starter.
But still, that's a lot of money tied up in a mop-up guy. Blech.
Re: Cubs "Hits" Of The Week (For the Week of 4/21 through 4/27)
Zito's strongest selling point was that he hadn't missed a single start since he broke into the league. Not taking advantage of his health and moving him to the bullpen where he's not nearly as likely to work out his struggles as if he stayed in the rotation, is idiotic. There's a reason why a team like the Giants has the luxury to keep sending struggling pitchers to the mound every five days: they're not contenders.
Re: Cubs "Hits" Of The Week (For the Week of 4/21 through 4/27)
Well, Sabean can cheer up, they'll only have $102 mil left by the end of the season, and that even includes the $7 mil buyout for 2014 (assuming Zito doesn't opt out of that year; who knows, he has 5 years in the Giants pen to turn it around).
This could be the worst FA signing ever. Even Hampton, you can chalk it up to injury, and he did have a couple decent years in there.
Re: Zito
I'm embarassed to say I was in favor of the Cubs signing Zito (although knowing he would stay on the west coast in all likelihood). Free agency is a crapshoot at best, and if you get 2 out of 3, or 3 out of 4 decent years you're lucky. Trades and farm system development is a safer bet if you can.
Zito will be a Metropolitian
by the waiver deadline. The Mets need another arm and dont have the prospects to get a top guy, so they will just buy half of his contract and give up a marginal prospect or two and hope Peterson can rebulid him like he did once before.
Re: Zito will be a Metropolitian
I agree completely, assuming you mean the Tokyo Metropolitans or the Independent Frontier League Metropolitans.
Unless he learns a damn good knuckleball, Zito is finished.
Zito's downward slide
Whatever Zito's problems are, they haven't just cropped up recently. Here's his ERA+ for his career:
2001: 125
2002: 158 <-- Cy Young year
2003: 134
2004: 101
2005: 113
2006: 116
2007: 98
2008: 54
Strikeout totals for the same period:
2001: 205
2002: 182
2003: 146
2004: 163
2005: 171
2006: 151
2007: 131
He's been on a steady decline for his entire career. The fact that he started from such a high spot has masked it somewhat, but he's been league-average or just over for the last four years.
Re: Zito's downward slide
Plus his walk rate has steadily risen on top of that. Not a good sign when you are supposed to be switching to the weaker offensive league.
Re: Zito's downward slide
zito's main issue is a loss in velocity and his "table dropping" curve has straightened out. guy's never been a fireballer, but he's struggling to his mid-80s much less consistant high-80s/low-90s. he has a change, but when you're throwing a 85mph fastball a crappy change isn't gonna fool too many (as if his change ever was good).
lefties are seeing him well and his stuff is more junk than deception.
so he's basically a soft tossing lefty without deception or control.

Certainly might be the hottest pitcher right now, but he's behind a few pitchers by most objective full season standards.
Well noted. You may also note that Lester's Career Playoff ERA is almost a full point lower, and he has a lower WHIP as well.
Can't have everything, I guess.
i'm happy enough with the Lester signing, but Scherzer has more than earned the extra money so far. If he was in the rotation instead of Lester, this team would feel practically bulletproof to me.
Blaspheme maybe, but I think Scherzer is the best pitcher in the NL right now.
Maddon was pimping Russell for Gold Glove honors recently as a manager should do...

Release of New 2014 Report & Data
Justice Delayed is Justice Denied. The longer a case takes, the more likely that key evidence and witnesses are lost. Court delays require police to spend more time in court and less time on patrol. For defendants awaiting trial, delays mean an unfair and expensive proposition with taxpayers paying for pretrial incarceration and indigent defendants who cannot pay their bail remaining incarcerated, whether innocent or not. Court Watch Nola's 2014 Efficiency Report focuses on reduction of courtroom delays to promote fairness, public safety, and cost-effective provision of public resources.
Also, for the first time ever, Court Watch NOLA has released cutting-edge statistics about the criminal justice system. With the release of these 2014 Data and Statistics, Court Watch NOLA takes a concrete step forward in providing the people of New Orleans greater transparency into the Orleans Criminal District Court.

Rolando appointed AFL-CIO finance committee vice chairman during labor fed's winter meeting
NALC President Fredric Rolando was appointed vice chairman of the AFL-CIO's finance committee during the federation's executive council meeting this week in San Diego. The president sits on the council as one of its vice presidents.
During its sessions this week, the council also discussed a wide range of items related to the union movement, including plans for the labor movement's get-out-the-vote efforts in 2016 and beyond and the alarming number of anti-union battles taking place on around the country at the state level. The council also adopted a variety of policy statements; among them was one that concerns the rising class of "on demand" workers, something that has the potential to threaten Postal Service jobs.
"While the number of people who earn a majority of their income from work 'on demand' via digital platforms constitutes only a tiny slice of the workforce today, some predict this kind of work could become much more prevalent in the future,' the statement said. "Under current law, only workers who are defined as 'employees' are protected by the National Labor Relations Act. Encouraging on-demand companies to rely on a workforce of independent contractors who lack the rights and protections of employees is bad public policy, yet four states have passed legislation doing just that for Uber and Lyft drivers. Similar bills are pending in five other states.
"We believe there is no basis for the pessimistic view that good jobs soon will be a thing of the past," it said. "Employee status by itself is no guarantee of decent work, but the rights and protections of employee status long have been the foundation on which we strengthen our bargaining power." (Click here to read the council's other adopted policy statements.)
Also at the meeting, the council declined to hold a vote on whether to endorse a presidential candidate in the 2016 election campaign. In an e-mail to executive council members, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said that, after much discussion and conversation, "I have concluded that there is broad consensus for the AFL-CIO to remain neutral in the presidential primaries for the time being and refrain from endorsing any candidate at this moment."
Trumka said that the federation's leadership encourages "affiliated unions to pursue their own deliberations with their members and come to their own endorsement decisions, if any, through open and rigorous debate."
USPS/NALC Open Contract Negotiations
NALC President Fredric Rolando and USPS Postmaster General Megan Brennan met on Feb. 19 at NALC Headquarters in Washington, DC, to formally open negotiations for a new collective-bargaining agreement. The present 2011-2016 agreement, covering more than 204,000 active city letter carriers employed by USPS, is set to expire at midnight on May 20.
Here is President Rolando's opening statement:
On behalf of everyone here at NALC, I want to welcome our friends and colleagues from the Postal Service to the Vincent R. Sombrotto Building for the formal opening of collective bargaining negotiations.
We are genuinely hopeful that working seriously and diligently together, we will be able to establish a mutually acceptable contract that rewards America's city letter carriers for their hard work providing extraordinary service to the American public.
I want to add a personal welcome to Postmaster General Megan Brennan. Since your appointment as the PMG, we have worked together, collaboratively, on legislative issues—and other serious Postal Service issues. I believe that we share the view—enthusiastically—that the United States Postal Service is not only alive and well, but also a vital national institution that provides an essential service to the 152 million households and businesses that we serve every day.
Of course, we understand that the Service faces great challenges ahead, and our two organizations will not always see eye-to-eye on every problem—or every solution. But on this side of the table we believe that the interests of the American public, the United States Postal Service, and its 204,000 active city letter carriers can be aligned. This can be done by providing the best possible service at the most affordable rates with fairly compensated and decently treated letter carriers in every corner of this country.
At this table, we will inevitably have different views on the significance of various issues—and what they mean for the future. Our goal is to negotiate a new contract that reconciles those different views.
We—the NALC—come to this table with a high degree of confidence in our understanding of the Postal Service's past, present and future. Part of that confidence is based on the role we have played in helping the Postal Service overcome the global economic crisis over the past decade. We have not only rolled up our sleeves at the bargaining table, but we have also led the fight to defend the Postal Service on Capitol Hill, at the White House and in the media—and we have done so, at times, in direct conflict with some leaders of the Postal Service.
But this is not the time and place to relive the past, so let me phrase our claim to credibility in a positive, not critical, way.
Five years ago it was the "conventional wisdom" in this town—in Congress, at the White House, in the press, among certain mailers and even in some corners of L'Enfant Plaza—that the Postal Service was doomed. It was destined to be crushed by the Internet and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Relentless downsizing and service cuts were the only solutions and nothing could be done to grow our business. Ultimately, many thought privatization of what was left was the only option.
Every element of the conventional wisdom was wrong—and demonstrably wrong.
And the NALC said so. Repeatedly, aggressively and consistently. And we showed why so many people were wrong. And we backed it up with an independent financial analysis from one of the premier financial firms in the world.
We pointed out, over and over, that the multi-billion dollar deficits reported were the result of an absurd mandate by Congress in 2006 that the Postal Service pre-fund retiree health benefits to the tune of $5 billion-plus per year. No other government enterprise, no private company—none—was or is required to do that. That mandate by itself, produced the deficits and fed the misguided conventional wisdom and the counter-productive drive to slash services.
Once the recession ended, the Postal Service started making a profit on operations, but it took a while for folks in Washington to notice. Finally, over the past couple of years, the press and members of Congress and leaders in our industry have realized that the conventional wisdom was wrong. The Postal Service is not doomed—we can and will thrive in the 21st century.
But that was not all that NALC pointed out. We also sought to promote solutions to the financial crisis created by Congress in 2006—even as we fought and defeated misguided service cuts. We pushed for fairness from the Office of Personnel Management in the area of pension valuations—and convinced a bipartisan majority of Congress to let us use pension surpluses to cover the cost of pre-funding. When that solution was blocked in Congress, we used our collective-bargaining process with you to explore an alternative solution involving reforms to the Federal Employees Health Benefit Program and its interaction with Medicare.
But we didn't stop there. We also engaged major mailers to boost revenues by preserving the exigent increase and built support in our industry and on Capitol Hill for further reducing the cost of retiree health benefits by investing the retiree health fund more sensibly. These solutions now form the basis of an emerging consensus in Congress on postal reform—and show how powerful collective bargaining can be if we work together in good faith.
It deserves mention that now, thanks to you, the NALC and the Postal Service are working together—with APWU, the rural carriers, the mail handlers and a coalition of mailers—on a legislative program that includes our negotiated solutions. That's all to the good.
But neither our joint congressional efforts, nor the fact that attention is finally being paid to the real financial numbers, nor all the good will in the world, will get us a contract. That will come only with straight talk, honest hard work, the free exchanges of ideas, real transparency and a determined will to negotiate a contract rather than have one be written for us by an outsider.
NALC is not naïve. We do not just hope for the best. We also prepare for the worst. We have been down this path before. We do know how to put on a case in interest arbitration. So do the folks on your side of the table and in L'Enfant Plaza. However, we both know that the most productive and efficient way forward for us is to negotiate a contract voluntarily.
We will not be burdening this day of formality with a detailed list of proposals. That will come in good time. But I believe it will be helpful to outline the framework of what will produce a joint agreement. And what will not.
The men and women letter carriers of the United States Postal Service have earned a reasonable increase in their wages and protection of their health insurance and other basic terms and conditions of employment. This will not be a concessionary agreement. We should not waste our valuable time, energy and resources, or yours, in pursuit of that which will not be.
Elements of our collective-bargaining agreements that have stood the test of time should not be tampered with. COLAs, no lay-offs clauses and contracting-out provisions are not Holy Scripture, but to letter carriers they are close. We would be well advised to approach those existing provisions with great respect and caution.
We both know we have workforce issues. We have a non-career workforce with an unacceptably high rate of turnover due to inadequate working conditions, compensation and benefits. There is every reason for us to study these issues in great detail, and to be creative in fashioning solutions.
We also have workplace issues. Beyond matters of staffing, safety and service, we must address a workplace culture plagued by stress and, often, dysfunction. It's well past time to put our heads together to make permanent, sustainable improvements. The ongoing transition within the Postal Service—what we do, how we do it, when we do it—has made addressing these issues even more important. We need to spend quality time and make every effort to discuss these and other issues in a non-adversarial, problem-solving manner.
On some issues, there should be no positional bargaining—for example, suicide rates, accident rates or protection against violence. Together, we can and must do better.
And that's only for starters. We both know other issues will emerge, and other opportunities—and risks—will present themselves.
Finally, a word on what is going on outside this room, and what impact, if any, those activities should have on what goes on at this table.
First, there is the ongoing effort in the Congress to deal with postal reform. We will both do our very best to advance the interests of the Postal Service and its employees and the public, as we see them—hopefully, through the same lens. Regardless of what either of us might want, or say, inevitably we will be keeping an eye across the street as we meet.
Second, there are your dealings with the other unions. Be assured of our best wishes to those unions, and you, in your efforts to reach agreements. But here, for the NALC, it is not the same as keeping our eye on the Congress of the United States. What happens or what doesn't happen on Capitol Hill will, inevitably, affect us. We cannot ignore it. But it is important for the Service to understand that what goes on in your other negotiations, or interest arbitrations, with the other unions has very little relevance for the NALC and its membership.
We know the facts on the ground establish city letter carriers as unique in our role in the Postal Service's unmatchable last-mile delivery network, unique in our relationship with the public and the business community, unique in our working conditions, and unique in our ability to build the revenues of the Postal Service. Increasingly, we are out on the street; increasingly, we are subject to the hazards of traffic and crime; increasingly, we face the challenges of inclement weather and many other physical risks. To be sure, other crafts and their unions have their own unique conditions, and we are sure that you will address those other craft issues at their tables.
At this table, we will address letter carrier issues and concerns, and their terms and conditions of employment. That should keep us busy enough.
We are committed to dealing with these negotiations in dead seriousness and purpose. I trust you will do the same.
Again, welcome to our building. We look forward to getting to work.

Rolando statement on USPS' quarterly financial report (updated)
(Note: This story has been updated to include news media coverage, below.)
NALC President Fredric Rolando issued a statement following the U.S. Postal Service's release on Feb. 9 of its financial report for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2016, covering October through December of 2015:
The $1.3 billion quarterly operating profit announced today by the Postal Service is positive news that augurs well for the future. The continuing financial upswing shows the importance of maintaining and strengthening the unparalleled—and profitable—postal network, which offers Americans the world's most affordable delivery services.
This impressive performance at the start of Fiscal Year 2016 builds on back-to-back years of operating profits each exceeding $1 billion, without a dime of taxpayer money.
These results aren't a fluke. They stem from two structural factors: An improving economy has helped stabilize letter revenue, and Internet-driven online shopping has sent package volume sharply upward—up 16.2 percent over the first quarter of last year.
Today's good news is consistent with—and reinforces—the emerging consensus among key lawmakers, the Postal Service, postal unions, businesses, mailers and industry groups to move forward with practical reform that all stakeholders can buy into. Such reform should include stabilizing rates as well as addressing the pre-funding mandate that is responsible for the red ink that's been reported in previous quarter

Historical Traveler Reviews Le Lapin Blanc Paris
Great Location, Good Value
I stayed at the Dacia Luxembourg for two nights in early December on a writing/research trip. I found the accommodation to be perfectly adequate, quiet for such a busy area and clean. The buffet breakfast was an excellent start to the day, with friendly service. If I were staying in Paris for a week or longer, I might try to find something with a little more character and personal attention, but this hotel certainly meets an acceptable standard. Great for travel to and from CDG airport too, since the St. Michel/Notre Dame station is just a short walk away.
Nice hotel, lovely district
My recent stay at the Hotel Dacia was a great experience. The hotel is ideally situated just minutes away from the metro station, (especially at the arrival, coming from the airport). The hotel staffs were very helpful and the rooms are quite charming. I strongly
recommend the Hotel Dacia!
Disappointed with the dacia hotel
we only stayed at this hotel as we could only get booked into our usual hotel for the first and last day of our trip, there were two young receptionists one male and one female who were really miserable, i was so looking forward to getting out of the place and and returning to our usual hotel where the receptionists are lovely.cleaners excellent and v.friendly.
the room was quite cold we were there from 19th oct 05 .also the room was on a busy main road which was very noisey. i will certainly be booking into my favourite hotel in plenty of time to clinch my reservation in future !
Stay Away!
Terrible. We had booked 5 nights in this "so called" hotel, but we fled after a single night. The internet presentation, phiotos and so on, are just the opposite of reality. The rooms are tiny, the beds are tiny, the bathrooms are tiny, the elevator is tiny, the lobby is tiny - well, it seems designed by a crew of gnomes. I had no bedside table, since there was no room for it, and the bed was for a Barbie House. Thr window faced a grey stone wall. Definitely, there'a a lot more of possibilities in Paris, STAY AWAY from this one!
Paris- wonderful, hotel on the cramped side !
Be very careful when booking through the "hotels- exclusive" web site, i inadvertendly booked via the french website. Booked giving full credit card details, with no mention of cancellation fees being apparent. Later the same day of booking, I cancelled (thinking hotel was abit expensive) reinstated the booking the next day, direct with hotel when they advised me there would be a small booking fee of 3/4 euros. (couldnt be bothered with hastle in the end) so reinstated booking. Without my knowledge or authorisation �60 was taken out of my account !! this was on the 4/5/05 and still to this day they still havent given me a refund !( 10/6/05) upon assurances it is being done ! That aside, the hotel is in a wonderfully central position. 10 min walk to Notre dame, Seine, and in the latin quarter distict which is very vibrant and busy in the evenings especially ( wonderful restaurants/bars) Hotel staff very friendly and spoke very good english. Hotel room ( one with four poster bed- in back of hotel, quiet room) very cramped, but did have mini bar, air conditioning and seperate bathroom to toilet. Ideal ! Clean and tidy, serviced daily. Didnt have breakfast there as we chose to eat out as opposed to in the cellar (no light but comfortable).
If you decide to use the open top buses on a two day round robin sightseeing tour. (22 euros each for 2 days)- slightly expensive to say the least, but it does give you a good view of paris on the way around. DO NOT USE THE RED buses.. USE THE YELLOW ONES!! the red ones do not take you to the Sacre Coeur, the yellow one does. The walk from the Opera House (nearest bus stop from a red bus) to the Sacre Coeur is about 20 mins uphill, and on the day we went, very hot ! The river boats are also wonderful to view paris. a day ticket being 11 euros each. A must is to go and see the light display at the eiffel tower on the hour every hour in the evenings. The eiffel tower is lit up in gold in the evening, but on the hour a trillion white fairy lights dance and glitter for 10 mins !! wonderful. We sat on the steps at the Trocadero with a picnic of Wine, cheese, olives, bread etc at 11pm, and had a most wonderful view of the display. Paris can be very expensive. Be careful were you drink ( a medium lager and a half lager shandy cost us 12 euros= �8 ! but if you look for happy hours bars, the drinks are reasonable - a pint of lager 2 euros �1.34 (ish). Take a corkscrew with you if you like wine, going for a drink al fresco on the banks of the Seine in the evening is a very popular pastime. We went for a two day break and managed to fit in all of the main sights (ex interior of Louvre) as well as having lovely meals and drinks in the evenings. It can be done, and not be too tiring !
Lovely Hotel
We stayed here for 4 nights from the 10th november 2004 and had a lovely stay. Arrived in Paris at the excelsior hotel in rue cujas and had to leave the hotel as it was appalling! We walked around the corner and found the Hotel Dacia.
Fortunately for us they were doing a special deal of only 90 euros per night for the room including breakfast which was the same price as the Hotel Excelsior. The room was lovely with tea making facilities and the bathroom was absolutely spotless. Breakfast was also very good in the basement with arched vaulted ceilings which is so typical of Paris. Standard french breakfast with very friendly staff. We can wholeheartily recommend this Hotel.
The Hotel reception staff also spoke english which was very helpfull.
Dacia Luxembourg - VERY disappointing
My husband and I just stayed at the Hotel Dacia Luxembourg and were very disappointed. For the prices charged, there is little value; room and bathroom were tiny and felt claustrophobic, the 'double' bed was closer in size to a single. Corridors were so narrow its hard to imagine they don't present a fire risk. Hotel lobby and corridors smelt of fish during entire stay. Hotel definitely spoilt our stay in Paris.
Good value in an expensive city
A well-located hotel with knowledgable staff. Rooms small. Rooms overlooking street were quite noisy. Ours was the cheaper option, and was much quieter. Matresses rather squishy.
Clean & comfortable
I have stayed in Dacia Luxembourg on two separate occasions, in 2001 and 2003. The hotel is very central and within walking distance to all tourist areas, the closest being the Luxembourg Gardens, Notre Dame and Saint Germain. It is situated on a main shopping street, but with saying that the rooms are sound proof from street noises and other neighbouring rooms.The bedrooms are small but have all the necessary mod cons and also have tea-making facilities, which was great after the days sightseeing. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a reasonable rate and a great holiday experience in Paris!
Good simple reasonably priced hotel
A good basic hotel, reasonably priced in a central location. Decent rooms, clean and comfortable and definitely on the "bijou" side but how much time does one spend in a hotel room in Paris?

Travel Blogs from Paris
A long day at the Muse.
After a night of eating, drinking and dancing we were up late and slept late. It took a few hours to digest the lamp shank, blue cheese, bone marrow and lemon meringue tart. We are not as young as we used to be and everything moves slower but hopefully we enjoy it more.
I got up before Marty to get tickets to the Muse d'Orsay and start …
OMG I'm in Paris
Marty had wanted to take me to Paris in the spring but life interfered with our plans so much so I didn't know if it would ever happen. Turns out Marty had to go to Barcelona for business now in January and he really didn't want to travel alone. The best non-stop flights were to Paris and he convinced me to go. I wasn't a hard sell.
So …
Wed. Aug. 12 - happy birthday mum!
... tour but maybe a spacd at 3:30? Wait- they maybe will create another tour at 11:00. We can wait a bit, no perhaps we should visit the gardens free to all and return in an hour. Great - we think! Hard boiled egg and baguettes time. We found a cosy bench in the shade and had a great breakfast picnic-complete with maldon salt :) An hour later we return to the no line up tour door and desole monsieur, the guide is not available for the tour. We cannot create ...
... time, and then actually had to wait in a line to get out.
While it seemed like we just ate, it was dinner time, so we ate again. I got wok noodles, but the cut of the vegetables was very French and not at all what I've experienced in Chinese food anywhere else in the world (including China). It was also not very spicy, but it was still good.
And that was my last meal in Europe for a while. What a way to end a series of small weekend trips to Europe- Chinese food.
I love Paris in the springtime...
... lots of fondu and raclette but we had brochettes that we cooked ourselves at a grill built into the table top. Wednesday morning saw us back on the big bus for the second day of our ticket. We finished the route near us, getting off briefly with a view to walking along part of the St Martin's Canal, but found it was quite a long walk from the stop so had a cup of coffee and waited for the next bus. As we were approaching the route crossover point Sue noticed Fauchon so we got ...

30 digital collections of images, videos, audio files, newspapers, journals and handwritten documents provide a global access point to eContent for students, faculty and the world
By Carrie Benseler
In 2004, Ball State University Libraries in Muncie, Indiana, decided to use OCLC's CONTENTdm® Digital Collection Management Software to create a Digital Media Repository to bring together the various digital collections and activities of the University into a single, cohesive and accessible Web-based environment.
Today, two years later, that effort has resulted in a centralized, coordinated and user-focused resource to serve the teaching, learning and research needs of students, faculty and researchers at Ball State and beyond.
Jim Bradley, Head of Metadata and Digital Initiatives, arrived at Ball State University Libraries in December 2004, and completed the first CONTENTdm collection in February 2005. The initial images digitized were a few hundred photographs from the Ball State University Libraries' Archives and Special Collections.
"CONTENTdm is a very user-friendly system and has a wonderful support library to draw on from the Web site," said Jim. "It is very easy to learn, and has made my job here a lot easier."
After the first collection was created, the Libraries' staff decided they wanted to provide a global access point for all types of University eContent that would allow students, faculty, researchers and community members to have a central place to share ideas, data and discoveries. They also wanted to enhance Ball State University's contribution to the growing amount of international digital content.
With CONTENTdm software, Jim and the Libraries' staff developed an ever-growing number of digital collections, including:
Reusable learning objects for Ball State University faculty and students
Student and faculty work
K–post-graduate educational resources
Community resources
General interest
The digital collections cover a wide range of disciplines, including: architecture, student artwork, student filmmakers, World War II historic films, U.S. Civil War resources, Muncie Times newspapers, campus photographs, theatre costumes and documentary videos, among many others.
As of October 2006, Ball State has 30 digital collections containing more than 60,000 objects available through its Digital Media Repository, including:
45,000+ images
2,000+ pages of handwritten documents, letters and diaries
10,000+ pages of newspapers and academic journals
750+ videos (more than 100 hours available)
170 audio files
The Ball State Digital Media Repository has many participants and partners, including: Ball State University Libraries; Ball State University; Archives and Special Collections; state and local organizations and groups; other cultural, historical and educational institutions; and faculty and academic departments.
Moving forward, Ball State University Libraries hopes to create even more digital collections with assistance from additional grants and funding, as well as through new partnerships at the University and in the community.

Your sister got lucky and earned better EVs and got better IVs. (I assume you don't EV train?) You got haxed. This mean you were critted a lot, got hit by chanced status, your attacks missed, ect. Your sister's Pokemon are higher levels and fully evolved. You have a massive water and fighting weakness, so maybe she used a bunch of super effective moves. Well, those are a few things that could have caused it. answered Aug 29, 2013 by JarJar~ selected Dec 30, 2013 by Shining Yin All wrong.

The first time I played White, I only used my Samurott. I lost every battle with my friend. commented Aug 30, 2013 by SamurottFan24 Please log in or register to add a comment.
