Psychoanalytic Training
The Adult Psychoanalytic Training Program
is designed for psychiatrists, psychiatry residents, clinical psychologists
and advanced clinical social workers who seek greater
expertise in treating people whose psychological conflicts interfere
with their ability to find satisfaction in working, loving and living.
While clinical work in psychoanalysis requires specific technical
skills, it also comprises an attitude of intellectual and emotional
openness toward the full range of human experience. This is based
in a spirit of scientific curiosity about the accumulated and emerging
body of psychoanalytic knowledge, and a deep, lasting commitment
to patient care.
The Institute emphasizes a modern conflict model
of psychoanalysis centered in the continuing revisions in theory and technique
since Freud's pioneering discoveries. The curriculum
includes the study of early and contemporary contributions
to the field, paying close attention to their application to varied
clinical problems. Candidates and faculty work together in a spirit
of open and critical inquiry to explore the development of this
complex field with its many unanswered questions.
We encourage a smooth and progressive
transition from candidate status to graduate-teacher. Most graduates become active faculty members. Senior candidates
and recent graduates interested in teaching may obtain experience in the
Institute's psychotherapy programs and in NYU School of Medicine's
instruction of medical students and residents. They then move on
to co-teach in the psychoanalytic curriculum with a more senior
faculty member. Mentored co-teaching, which has been a mainstay of the Institute since our founding in 1949, generates new and diverse psychoanalytic teaching perspectives.

Professional Background
The Adult Psychoanalytic Training Program is designed for professionally licensed individuals with advanced education, including: psychiatrists, psychiatry residents, clinical psychologists, and clinical social workers with significant treatment experience. Psychiatry residents enrolled in an accredited program may apply during or after their training. NYU psychiatric residents are eligible for the Psychoanalytic Track, which enables them to combine psychiatric and psychoanalytic training as early as their first residency year. Psychologists and Social Work Ph.D.'s may apply at any point after attainment of their doctoral degrees. There is some flexibility in the timing of the NYS license for clinical psychologists, but all candidates are required to have a license to see patients by the second trimester of the first year. Masters of Social Work level clinical applicants must fulfill the prerequisites outlined in "Principles and Standards for Education in Psychoanalysis" of the American Psychoanalytic Association. (In general this means having completed a two-year psychotherapy program at a member institute of the American Psychoanalytic Association, which in New York State is contingent on achieving one's LCSW.)
Personal Suitability
Applicants are accepted on the basis of their education, scientific interest in the field, psychological aptitude, and certain personality factors. These include personal integrity, maturity, and an abiding interest in the vicissitudes of human experience and psychological growth; a capacity for psychological understanding and sensitivity; the ability to listen and communicate empathically; the desire to make observations non-judgmentally in an inherently subjective field; and a tolerance for complexity, ambiguity and frustration. Psychoanalytic training helps the student (candidate) develop and integrate these characteristics.
Application Process
The application form is found here. It consists
of biographical information, letters of recommendation, and transcripts
of previous educational experience. A non-refundable fee of $100
must accompany the application. Completed applications are processed
throughout the year, although they should be received by May 1
for admission for the following September. It is customary to meet
individually with two or three faculty members in a series of interviews
as part of the application process after the written application
is received.
Applicants will be notified of the decision of the Admissions Committee
as soon as possible after the completion of the interview process.
At the time of matriculation, each candidate contracts not to conduct
psychoanalytic treatment or to represent himself/herself as a practitioner
of psychoanalysis until authorized by the Institute to do so.

Associate Program in Adult Psychoanalysis
Top of Page
Candidates usually begin the first year of classes in the September
following admission, although some candidates may attend a "pre-class"
year while beginning their
personal psychoanalysis and obtaining more clinical experience.
The course work is the most structured component of psychoanalytic
training, but even progression through classes is approached on
an individual basis. Meeting the demands of professional life, family
life and psychoanalytic training can be difficult, and candidates
can tailor their training to best accommodate such individual factors.
Each candidate is assigned a Student Progression Committee (SPC) advisor
for the duration of training. He/she meets with this person on an
as-needed basis, at least 1-2 times a year. The Institute does not
give grades for course work or supervised clinical work. Course
instructors and supervisors write assessments of candidates' performance,
which are discussed by advisors with candidates and reviewed by
the SPC. A candidate's learning process
and personal needs are taken into account by the SPC in determining
the pace of training.
Progression to each successive year of classes is determined by
the SPC, as is the candidate's readiness to proceed with supervised
clinical work. Typically, the first case is begun near the end of
the first or the beginning of the second year of classes. Candidates
are required to have one case underway to be promoted to the third
year of classes, and two cases underway to be promoted to the fourth
year of classes. Candidates must submit written summaries of their
clinical work to their supervisors on an annual basis.
After completing four years of classes, candidates are promoted
to senior status, where supervised clinical work continues.
Senior candidates who have had three cases well along in supervision
may be approved to take on additional cases without ongoing supervision.
Admitted candidates begin a personal psychoanalysis as soon as possible.
This increases a candidate's sensitivity to the
workings of unconscious forces
and begins the process of diminishing personality factors which
might impede a one's development as a psychoanalyst.
Candidates who are not already in analysis consult with the Education
Committee Chair for referral to a training analyst on the faculty
of the Institute. Under certain circumstances, applicants who
have already begun an analysis with a training analyst from another
training institute accredited by the American Psychoanalytic Association
may continue with that analyst while training at the
A candidate's analysis is expected to continue well into the period
of supervised clinical work. Training analyses are conducted at
an optimal frequency of five times per week. Treatment fees are arranged privately by the candidate and
his/her training analyst. Once begun, there is no analyst reporting to any Institute body. Candidates are requested to inform their SPC Advisors annually only whether they continue or have completed the analysis.
The curriculum consists of four years of required classes,
taught on Saturday mornings, 8:30 am to 1:00 pm, September through May. During the first year, and for the first trimester of the second year, there is also a class on Tuesday evenings, 8:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.. Classes are held at Bellevue Hospital Center, 462 First Avenue (at 28th Street). After
promotion to senior candidate status, candidates
attend an ongoing continuous care seminar, and are encouraged to
participate in elective seminars. Candidates
may apply at any time to begin classes in the Division
of Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis.
For an overview of the curriculum and descriptions
of the individual courses, click
Clinical Work
Immersion in psychoanalytic
work is a central feature of the training experience. Candidates begin their first analytic case as early as the
first year of classes. Supervised patients are seen four-to-five
times per week. Patients may be developed from the candidate's private
practice or from the Institute's Consultation and Treatment Service.
Treatment is conducted privately, usually in the candidate's own
office, with the understanding that it is being done under the auspices
of the Institute. Fees are arranged privately between the candidate
and the patient. The SPC assists
candidates in obtaining a supervising analyst for each case. Candidates
may change supervisors at any time with the approval of the SPC.
Candidates work with a minimum of three supervised patients, at
least one male and one female. Demonstration of the capacity to
develop a psychoanalytic process is required for graduation.
Graduation from the Institute is based on a candidate's achievement
of analytic maturity and the capacity for independent analytic work.
This includes the successful completion of four years of classes
and the demonstration of analytic competence in supervised and unsupervised
clinical work, as evidenced by supervisors' written evaluations
and the candidate's own written case summaries. A
terminated case is not required, but demonstration of the candidate's
ability to work towards a satisfactory termination is essential.
Fees, Financial Aid
Psychoanalytic education can be a lengthy and expensive undertaking,
a significant sacrifice for candidates who may already be burdened
by debt from medical school or graduate studies. We are sensitive
to these considerations and we have kept tuition and other expenses
as low as possible.
Fees for a candidate's personal analysis are established in accordance
with the candidate's financial situation. Supervisory fees are arranged
between candidate and supervisor, taking into consideration the often
reduced fee of training cases.
Application Fee: $100 (applied
to first year tuition)
Annual Registration Fee:
In-class candidates -$750, Seniors - $1000
Annual Tuition (class years 1-4, Seniors pay no tuition):

Refunds: The annual tuition is subject to a refund, on a prorated

a trimester.
Financial Aid
There are several sources of student loans to help defray costs incurred
during training. The Psychoanalytic Association of New York (PANY),
the professional society affiliated with The Psychoanalytic Institute,
provides no-interest loans to qualified candidates through its Student
Aid Committee. Another source of interest-free loans to eligible candidates
is the Liddle and Hymowitz Fund, administered by the American Psychoanalytic

Started off well i may have given it some nutes at the beginning that may have stunted its growth but it feels like it is in the late stages of flowering although it is only week 4. temperatures in the growbox range from 28 to 31 degrees (cant do much more as I live in a hot area) have very good airflow with 3 fans blowing over them, a 200 CFM fan exhausting the heat out and another fan getting cold air from the house. It is very small compared to the others week 1 Week 2 week 3 The buds are already purplish but I really want to know why its so small. also there are really small black bugs that are around in the soil, i've seen them in the Auto red's soil but im guessing they probably infest all the rest. please help

James Villas' pound cake recipe was featured in Saveur magazine in a 2008 issue that was all about butter. This cake is without peer.
Makes 10 to 12 servings
12 ounces butter plus more for the pan (preferably Beurre Lescure or another premium butter) at room temperature
2 tablespoons plus 3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup milk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 teaspoon pure lemon extract
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs, at room temperature
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Generously grease a light-colored 10-inch tube pan with butter. Add 2 tablespoons flour; turn pan to coat it evenly with flour, tap out any excess and set aside. (The inside of the pan should be smoothly and evenly coated with butter and flour, with no clumps or gaps.)
Using a sieve set over a bowl, sift together remaining flour, baking powder and salt. Repeat two more times. In a measuring vessel with a pourable spout, combine milk and the almond, lemon and vanilla extracts. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle, cream butter at medium-low speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, and beat until satiny smooth, about 3 minutes.
Add one egg at a time to the butter mixture, beating for 15 seconds before adding another, and scraping down bowl after each addition. Reduce mixer speed to low and alternately add flour and milk mixtures in three batches, beginning and ending with flour. Scrape down sides of the bowl; beat just until batter is smooth and silky but no more.
Scrape batter into prepared pan and firmly tap on a counter to allow batter to settle evenly. Bake until light golden and a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out moist but clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cake cool in pan on a rack for 30 minutes. Invert cake onto rack; let cool completely before slicing.

Revised: 07/23/2013 -- added NNM -- the Number Needed to
Mis-diagnose (thanks to Farrokh Habibzadeh)
This page computes various statistics from a 2-by-2 table. It will calculate the Yates-corrected chi-square, the Mantel-Haenszel chi-square, the Fisher Exact Test, and other indices relevant to various special kinds of 2-by-2 tables:
Many of these concepts are explained in detail in an online Evidence-based Medicine Glossary. For more information about a particular index, click on the <more info> link for that index.
Confidence intervals for the estimated parameters are computed by a general method (based on "constant chi-square boundaries") given in: Statistical Methods for Rates and Proportions (2nd Ed.) Section 5.6, by Joseph L. Fleiss (Pub: John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1981). This method is also described in Numerical Recipes in C (2nd Ed.) Section 15.6, by William H. Press et al. (Pub: Cambridge University Press, Cambridge UK, 1992)

Chanelle Price pulled off a surprise on Sunday, winning the IAAF World Indoor Track and Field championship in the 800 meters in Poland.
This afternoon, the tables were turned on her at Easton Area High School in Palmer Township.
With all 140 current members of the Red Rovers track team present, some holding banners and posters trumpeting her world championship, the Forks Township native was greeted with cheers by the throng as she entered the school's gym lobby.
Overcome with emotion at the unexpected greeting, Price immediately covered her face and wiped away tears while stepping through the doorway and seeing the crowd, which also included Easton coaches, former teammates and even Joetta Clark-Diggs, a former three-time Olympian whose U.S. High School Federation record Price broke her senior year at Easton in the 2008 PIAA Class AAA Championships.
Also speaking before the crowd of students were Bobbi-Jo Powell, Easton's cross country coach; Tony Lattimore, Easton's sprint coach who worked with Price when she was with the Red Rovers; Price's mother, Yolanda, who instigated the surprise greeting; Rochelle Gilbert, an athletic trainer at Easton; and Clark-Diggs, who lives in Lower Saucon Township.
After the greeting from the student-athletes, Price spoke about what life has been like for her since her world championship win.
Her time of 2 minutes, 00.09 seconds is the best in the world this year.
"It still hasn't hit me yet, although this really helps," she said, referring to the athletes who were posing with her and getting her autograph. "When you have people follow you, it's great they can celebrate with you, too."
If there was one thing that Price conveyed after her victory, it was her unhappiness at Tennessee. Even though she was a nine-time indoor and outdoor All-American with the Volunteers, Price conceded she was disillusioned with her career despite her success.
"I put too much pressure on myself," she said. "Every race I ran, I felt weighted down. I was this big high school star and I believed I should be running faster. I felt I let people down. It was no one's fault but my own.
"The low point was actually last year when I failed to make the USA team (in the World Championships). I worshiped track and field and I probably shouldn't have. I let it dictate my self-worth as a person and that's not good."
But Price said she found herself in Christianity, which she said is giving her life an entirely different trajectory.
"I'm running just for Him," she said. "The weight came off my shoulders. I feel so free when I run now."
Price is also hoping to secure a sponsorship -- a world championship certainly can't hurt -- and her agent, Pittsburgh-based John Nubani, is in discussions with several shoe companies, Price said.
In the Easton area for the next 10 days, Price plans to return to Knoxville and continue to train in addition to working her two part-time jobs, as a mentor to Tennessee students and in a health food shop. She plans to enter a few outdoor meets, dropping down to 400 meters or moving up to the 1,500 to help her training for the 800.
But for now, the 800 is her specialty and she has the evidence to prove it.

A generalized Mueller matrix method (GMMM) is proposed to measure the polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in an optical fiber system with polarization-dependent loss or gain (PDL/G). This algorithm is based on the polar decomposition of a 4×4 matrix which corresponds to a Lorentz transformation. Compared to the generalized Poincaré sphere method, the GMMM can measure PMD accurately with a relatively larger frequency step, and the obtained PMD data has very low noise level.

Federal Way man charged with murder in wife's poisoning
Joseph Naimo was charged May 26 with first degree murder of his wife, Ann Marie Naimo.
On May 22, Federal Way police arrested Naimo, 67, on suspicion of first-degree murder of his wife, who died six months prior.
Police and fire responded to the call Nov. 28, 2008. They found a 53-year-old woman not breathing and performed CPR, police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock said. Naimo, a general manager at a pesticide business, told police and fire his wife had been an alcoholic and after years of not drinking had recently started consuming alcohol again, according to court documents. He reported Ann Marie woke up that day with a hangover and proceeded to drink to rid herself of its effects, according to the court papers. Naimo told police he and his wife argued over her alcohol consumption that day and he found her unresponsive in a back room after the argument, according to court documents.
The King County Medical Examiner's Office took the remains following the victim's death and performed an autopsy. Nothing physically suspicious was apparent and a toxicology test was ordered, reports said.
The results were returned in January. The medical examiner's office notified Federal Way police that the initial toxicology exam of the victim's blood revealed lethal levels of strychnine — a pesticide poison — and non-lethal amounts of prescription medications, according to court documents. She also had a .18 blood alcohol level, according to the documents. Police began a homicide investigation.
The poisoning causes one's muscles to contract, similar to a seizure, according to court documents. The person suffering from the attack generally remains awake while the poison shuts down his or her respiratory system, according to court papers.
Naimo first appeared in court May 21. His bail was set and remains at $5 million. As charged, the defendant faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Results tagged ' Bo Porter '
Marlins set to name Rodriguez
With the World Series completed, the Marlins now are about to conclude their manager search.
Their search has led the team back to where the season ended.
In recent days, speculation had been growing that there were two finalists — Edwin Rodriguez and Bo Porter.
But on Tuesday, the Nationals announced their staff, and Porter was named their third base coach.
With Porter out of the mix, the Marlins now are set to announce they will retain Rodriguez. An official announcement is expected on Wednesday, according to sources.
Along with naming Rodriguez, who met on Tuesday with team owner Jeffrey Loria in New York, the Marlins are set to finalize their staff. Perry Hill will return to the ballclub and be the infield and first base coach. John Mallee will be back as hitting coach. Brandon Hyde returns as bench coach, and pitching coach Randy St. Claire will return. Joe Espada is lined up to be the third base coach.
Rodriguez posted a 46-46 record with the Marlins after taking over for Fredi Gonzalez in late June. For the season, Florida was 80-82 — third place in the NL East.
Rodriguez is the first Puerto Rican-born manager in MLB history. The 50-year-old was promoted from being the Triple-A New Orleans manager on June 23.
A week ago, Marlins president David Samson said the team expected to make a managerial announcement after the World Series.
Shortly after the season ended, the Marlins pursued Bobby Valentine, who withdrew from consideration a couple of weeks ago. The team also inquired about the availability of Ozzie Guillen, who is returning to the White Sox.
— Joe Frisaro
Managerial movement picking up
Vacancies are starting to be filled, and some of the decisions may factor into who is named the Marlins next manager.
For instance, the Cubs on Tuesday announced that they have hired Mike Quade over Ryne Sandberg.
The move also means that Chicago won't make a pitch for Yankees manager Joe Girardi, who now is all but guaranteed to remain in New York.
So what does this mean for the Marlins?
For one, it means the Marlins will likely talk internally about the merits of Sandberg, and whether it makes sense for them to seek permission to talk with the Hall of Famer.
Andre Dawson, a Marlins special assistant, is a former teammate of Sandberg. He knows him well.
So expect the Marlins to talk among themselves about Sandberg. Whether it leads to anything more remains to be seen.
The Marlins are getting close to starting their interviewing process to see who will direct the club in 2011.
Had Quade not been hired in Chicago, the Marlins likely would have considered him because he is so highly regarded.
Over the past few days we've seen some jobs being filled.
Seattle recently hired Eric Wedge. And any doubts about Tony La Russa leaving St. Louis were put to rest on Monday when the Cardinals announced his return.
Of course, high on Florida's list is Bo Porter, who has past history with the organization. Sources have noted that Porter has an inside edge for the job, but that doesn't mean the team hasn't ruled out all its options.
Retaining Edwin Rodriguez also is under consideration.
More answers should be known in the upcoming days as the front office begins its interviewing process.
— Joe Frisaro
Porter emerges as frontrunner
The Marlins may be weighing all their options, but the candidate that appears to have the most momentum to manage the club in 2011 is familiar to Florida fans.
Indications are Bo Porter has emerged as the frontrunner.
Porter, a former big league outfielder, was the Marlins' third base/outfield coach from 2007-09, before he joined the Arizona staff in 2010.
Numerous sources confirmed the Marlins have serious interest in Porter, who is regarded as a strong teacher of fundamentals. Known for being well prepared, the 38-year-old already has been making inquiries about candidates for his coaching staff.
Earlier this month, Porter interviewed for the Pirates managerial position.
The Marlins' search is entering another week after Bobby Valentine, who was offered the job, opted to withdraw from consideration.
Edwin Rodriguez, who went 46-46 after replacing Fredi Gonzalez on June 23, remains in the mix. But the club hasn't spoken with Rodriguez since the season ended.
Porter previously interviewed for the Marlins job after Gonzalez was dismissed in June. Porter impressed the club then, and he remained under consideration even after the team decided to stay with Rodriguez.
Other candidates being mentioned are Tony Pena, Ted Simmons and Jim Fregosi. It remains unclear how much serious interest the team has in them.
The Marlins finished 80-82 in 2010, and the organization is placing an emphasis to improving fundamentally.
Florida has a young outfield that features rookies Logan Morrison and Mike Stanton. Cameron Maybin isn't a rookie, but he is 23-years-old.
Porter would be looked at to help the developments of these young players.
In recent years, Porter worked with former Marlin, Cody Ross, who now has become a playoff hero for the Giants. In 2008 and 2009, Porter frequently stated that Ross was deserving of a Gold Glove.
— Joe Frisaro
Marlins managerial update
The search for the Marlins new manager will take about two weeks.
Fresh off an 80-82 season, the front office is in the process of narrowing its list of candidates and setting up interviews. The process is expected to take a little while.
In contention for the job are Bobby Valentine, Jim Fregosi, Bo Porter and Tony Pena. Other names that have been reported are Ted Simmons and Tim Wallach.
Edwin Rodriguez, who replaced Fredi Gonzalez on June 23, remains a candidate. But it appears he isn't a frontrunner. Under Rodriguez, the Marlins were 46-46.
As the Marlins are plotting how to move forward with their managerial search, the organization also are being impacted by the Mets' general manager vacancy.
The Mets have asked for permission to talk with president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest, general manager Michael Hill and vice president of player personnel Dan Jennings about their GM post.
Indications are the Marlins will deny the request. However, ESPN.com reports that Jennings has a stipulation in his contract that would allow him to talk with the Mets. So the door may not be completely closed for him to talk with New York.
— Joe Frisaro
No clear-cut manager frontrunner
A list of candidates is being compiled, and more names are starting to surface. What remains unclear in the Marlins' managerial search is if there is a true frontrunner.
The intriguing name out there is Ozzie Guillen, whose status with the White Sox remains unsettled. However, reports are out that Guillen is seeking a long-term contract to remain in Chicago.
If he were to become available, Guillen would instantly appear to be the Marlins' first choice. The Marlins, though, haven't made any public comments regarding their managerial position.
The team has repeatedly said after the season they will evaluate current manager Edwin Rodriguez, who has the Marlins one game over .500 (76-75) heading into their final road trip, which begins on Thursday at Milwaukee.
Guillen has ties with the Marlins. He was the third base coach in 2002-03.
Because some of the potential candidates project to be on the staffs of playoff teams, the search could last a little while. Rays bench coach Dave Martinez and third base coach Tom Foley are a couple of names to monitor. Both are regarded as solid big league managerial candidates. Whether they are fits for Florida is unclear right now.
There are a couple of other names floating around. Bobby Valentine, who was in consideration in June after Fredi Gonzalez was dismissed, remains in the picture. How much so, though, is in question. Indications are that Valentine will not get the job.
Bo Porter, the D-backs bench coach, interviewed after Gonzalez was let go. Porter also is being discussed internally. But like Valentine, he may not be the first option.
Padres first base coach Rich Renteria and Yankees bench coach Tony Pena also are under consideration. And Ted Simmons, the Padres bench coach, has been mentioned, but he doesn't appear to be the first choice.
Other names brought up in various media reports are Larry Bowa and Wally Backman.
For now, the Marlins are playing out the season before deciding which direction to go in 2011.
— Joe Frisaro
Continuity after a confusing week
A constant in an otherwise confusing week was the Marlins determination to "find the right guy" to be the next manager.
Some clarity came on Tuesday, one day shy of a week that Fredi Gonzalez was dismissed.
Ending six franctic days of speculation and plot twists, team owner Jeffrey Loria told the team minutes before taking the field on Tuesday that Edwin Rodriguez would manage the club for the remainder of the season.
At that point, the owner will re-evaluate which direction to go. The timing of the decision was crucial because the clubhouse was wondering what would happen next.
"Continuity is important, and that's what we're going to do," Loria said.
To the players credit, they stayed as focused as possible under otherwise trying circumstances.
To Rodriguez's credit, he handled his interim status with class and dignity. Never did he speak about what was in his best interests. He talked about how it would be fair foremost for the players to know who they will be answering to. Now they know.
What this means for the big picture — the future of the franchise — we'll have to wait and see.
Still unanswered is what went wrong in the negotiations with Bobby Valentine. The frontrunner when Gonzalez was let go, all signs pointed to Valentine taking over until late Sunday night.
When Loria announced Rodriguez was staying on, he said he didn't want to go into details of anything else. So the team isn't saying what happened.
Indications are there was a difference in philosophy, perhaps with Valentine wanting more say in personnel moves. The Marlins remain a low-payroll roster, and the team has a number of young players, like Mike Stanton, who are adjusting to the big leagues.
Typically, high-profile managers are brought in with the expectation to win now. Whether it's Pat Riley or Bill Parcells or Phil Jackson, they are looking to win championships, not rebuild.
Bobby Valentine would have been a Pat Riley or Bill Parcells type presence in South Florida. He would have been the Marlins' answer to Joe Torre.
Those types of people aren't stepping into seven-year projects. They are there to help a team reach a championship, sooner rather than later.
Perhaps after the season, Valentine will be re-visited. By then, though, he may entertain other possibilities.
Bo Porter also interviewed for the job, and he was impressive. Now Arizona's third base coach, Porter was a strong candidate after a very good interview last Friday. Had the Marlins gone with Porter, it likely would have been a sign that they would get younger again.
Also the outfield coach, Porter would have been viewed as someone to work with Stanton, Cameron Maybin, and perhaps Logan Morrison, when he eventually is promoted from Triple-A. Porter has familiarity in the clubhouse because he was on the Marlins staff from 2007-09. The organization likes his energy and passion.
As part of the staff shakeup, outfield coach Dave Collins stepped down last Saturday. Collins was very popular. Porter would have been a familiar voice as a replacement.
By staying with Rodriguez, the organization has more time to weigh the situation without making any hasty decisions. The players also have a building connection with Rodriguez, whom many played for in the Minor Leagues.
For the rest of the year, the Marlins players and staff can focus on playing baseball. The team has work to do if they want to get back into the race. They are three-games under .500, and the July 31 trade deadline is approaching. So more changes can be made — this time in terms of player movement — if the club falls completely out of the race.
Now with the cloud of uncertainty lifted, the current staff and set of players have been given a chance to seize the opportunity.
— Joe Frisaro
Porter new frontrunner?
If the Marlins indeed are turning their search away from Bobby Valentine, the new frontrunner may be Bo Porter.
Porter, now Arizona's third base coach, interviewed for the Florida job last Saturday. From 2007-09, he was the Marlins third base/outfield coach.
Jon Heyman of SI.com reported late Monday that the Marlins are seriously considering Porter. There are strong indications that the team is internally is giving the prospect strong consideration.
Porter is looked upon as a candidate who will bring energy to the job. He was respected by the players in his three seasons as a coach, and he has a little more seasoning coaching at the big league level than Edwin Rodriguez.
Rodriguez was named interim manager when Fredi Gonzalez was dismissed on June 23. The first Puerto Rican-born manager in MLB history, Rodriguez has been well received in Puerto Rico where the Marlins are facing the Mets in a three-game series in San Juan.
Rodriguez interviewed for the job on Saturday, and he remains in the mix. The process has no time line, but Porter may have the inside edge, if the field is down to Porter and Rodriguez, who previously was the Triple-A New Orleans manager.
Talks between the Marlins and Valentine broke down on Sunday, and it is unclear if there is any chance of both sides getting together. In the meantime, Porter is definitely a strong candidate for the full-time job.
The organization has had no comment on the managerial search.
— Joe Frisaro
Report: Uggla wants to remain at second
Dan Uggla is a two-time All-Star second baseman who has already placed his name in the record books.
By belting 31 homers in 2009, Uggla is the first player in MLB history to reach 30 homers in three straight years in which he played at least 100 games at second base.
With that kind of track record, Uggla sees himself as a second baseman. And he has little desire to switch positions, according to his agent, Jeff Borris.
Borris on Friday told Yahoo! Sports' Tim Brown that his client wants to stay at second base.
"Danny Uggla's been a full-time second baseman for the last four years," Borris told Yahoo! Sports columnist. "He's performed exceptionally well at that position. Although he has the athleticism to play other positions, he's performed remarkably over these four years at second base and there should be no reason to consider a position change at this time."
In his second season of arbitration, Uggla's salary is slated to rise for the $5.35 million he made this year.
At this week's General Managers Meetings, the Marlins had conversations with several clubs about Uggla. The Giants reportedly would like to add Uggla and switch him to third base. The Red Sox would consider Uggla in left field. The Orioles also reportedly have interest.
The Nationals, too, are a team that could enter into the mix. So may the Diamondbacks, the team that drafted Uggla in 2001. Former Marlins third base coach, Bo Porter, has now joined the Arizona staff.
Uggla has 121 career home runs, and he is building his legacy at second base. He has not played any other position in the big leagues besides second.
— Joe Frisaro
More coaching openings
The Marlins have a few more coaching vacancies.
On Friday, the team announced third base/outfield coach Bo Porter and bullpen coach are not returning for 2010.
Bench coach Carlos Tosca, hitting coach Jim Presley and bullpen coordinator Pierre Arsenault accepted contracts for next year.
The Marlins now have four coaching positions open.
Pitching coach Mark Wiley and first base/indield coach Andy Fox were not offered contracts.

Camping out Sunday
Worth noting:
* Anibal Sanchez was effective in three innings, giving up one run on five hits. His objective is throwing strikes. Of his 53 pitches, 36 were strikes. Andrew Miller followed, and struggled with command. In 1 1/3 innings, Miller threw 49 pitches, with 27 for strikes.
* Sanchez and Miller will piggie-back each other in their next time out, and then they will split up.
* Third base/outfield coach Bo Porter missed a couple of days because he went back to Texas on Thursday to finalize paper work in the adoption of his son, Bryce Jordan Porter. The 14-month old has been with Bo and his wife, Stacey, since he was born. The final details were brought before a judge on Friday, and Porter returned on Saturday.
* Jeremy Hermida batted third on Sunday. Hanley Ramirez normally bats third, but he will be leaving on Monday to compete in the World Baseball Classic for the Dominican Republic.
* Monday's intrasquad scrimmage will be at 11:30 a.m. ET on field 2 of Roger Dean Stadium. Chris Volstad and Sean West are slated to start. Renyel Pinto will throw in relief.

Niehaus died at his home in suburban Bellevue, according to his family.
"He was one of the great broadcast voices of our generation, a true gentleman, and a credit to baseball," Commissioner Bud Selig said. "He was a good friend and I will miss him. But he will be sorely missed, not only in the Pacific Northwest, where he had called Mariners games since the club's inception in 1977, but wherever the game is played."
Niehaus was the voice of the Mariners from their first game on April 6, 1977, through the end of the 2010 season with his golden Midwestern voice punctuated by his trademark "My oh My!" and "It will fly away!" calls.
He was the recipient of the 2008 Ford C. Frick award and was inducted into the broadcasters' wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
"Dave has truly been the heart and soul of this franchise since its inception in 1977," Mariners CEO Howard Lincoln and team president Chuck Armstrong said in a statement Wednesday night.
From the Mariners' debut in 1977, Niehaus served as an instructor for baseball fans in the Pacific Northwest, a region void of the major league game sans the Seattle Pilots' one-year experiment in 1969. Adults and kids regularly tuned in on summer evenings to hear Niehaus try and put his best spin on what were among the worst teams in baseball during much of the club's history.
But no matter how bad the Mariners were, Niehaus never let the on-field product affect his approach to the game. He always brought enthusiasm and drama to some horrible teams, horrible games and horrible seasons.
"All of us in this business, guys, this is the toy department of life," Niehaus said before his Hall of Fame induction in 2008. "It's a narcotic. Anyone who is involved in this business, whether it be my end or (the writing) end or the front office end, we're lucky. We're lucky people."
Niehaus got into broadcasting as a student at Indiana. He worked for the Armed Forces Network in Los Angeles and New York before anchoring himself in the L.A. market in the late 1960s and early '70s, calling games for the California Angels and UCLA football. In 1976 at the baseball winter meetings, Niehaus was encouraged to interview for the lead play-by-play job with the expansion Mariners.
As much as Ken Griffey Jr., Alex Rodriguez, Randy Johnson, Edgar Martinez and Ichiro Suzuki were responsible for making Seattle relevant in professional baseball, it was Niehaus telling their stories along the way.
"He was a consummate pro at everything he did," former Seattle outfielder Jay Buhner said. "I am going to miss everything about the guy — going to miss his face, his ugly white shoes and his awful sport coats. He was one-of-a-kind."
When Griffey returned to Seattle for the 2009 season, he was constantly on Niehaus' case, playfully badgering the broadcaster while checking in to make sure Niehaus was eating right and feeling OK.
Even though Niehaus has never announced a World Series game with the Angels or Mariners, his calls during Seattle's remarkable rally during the 1995 season still bring chills to those who fondly remember the brightest time in Mariners history.
Seattle trailed the Angels by 13 games on Aug. 2 before surging to win the AL West for its first playoff berth.
His call of Edgar Martinez's double that beat the New York Yankees in Game 5 of the AL division series that year was being replayed all over Twitter and Facebook on Wednesday night.
"Right now, the Mariners looking for the tie. They would take a fly ball, they would love a base hit into the gap and they could win it with Junior's speed. The stretch ... and the 0-1 pitch on the way to Edgar Martinez, swung on and LINED DOWN THE LEFT-FIELD LINE FOR A BASE HIT! HERE COMES JOEY, HERE IS JUNIOR TO THIRD BASE, THEY'RE GOING TO WAVE HIM IN! THE THROW TO THE PLATE WILL BE ... LATE! THE MARINERS ARE GOING TO PLAY FOR THE AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! IT JUST CONTINUES! MY OH MY!"
Niehaus later said it wasn't his favorite call during his career, but the one he'd be the most identified with.
"I was lucky enough to be there," he said.
Finally, from our colleagues at The Seattle Times, a montage of Niehaus' most memorable calls through his career with the Mariners.
My, oh my, indeed. Enjoy them one last time.
Fly away...

The cable company raised its standard TV rates by 4.8 percent, or $3 a month, beginning with November bills. The monthly package now costs $66 in Oregon and Southwest Washington, plus a few dollars in additional fees that vary by city.
Internet rates are going up, too, between $2 and $4 a month. The monthly cost of Comcast's "Performance" Internet service is climbing to $49, up from $45, for subscribers who also have Comcast TV. The company said it's also boosting download speeds to 15 megabits per second, from 12 mbps.
Comcast last raised rates in January, when the cost of a standard package went up 5.1 percent. This is the first time Comcast has raised its Oregon rates twice in the same calendar year.
In a statement, the company said it's experiencing increased programming and operational costs but did not directly address why it's raising rates twice this year. Also, Comcast said about half of its customers are on promotional plans and won't pay the higher rates until those promotions end.
Comcast serves nearly the entire Portland area and about 600,000 customers in Oregon and Southwest Washington. It's raised TV prices by an average of 5.4 percent annually over the past 10 years.
With annual inflation in the Portland area currently running around 2.7 percent, Comcast's latest rate hike is "very unfortunate and regrettable," said David Olson, director of the Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission.
Comcast first notified customers of the pending rate hike in their October bills, and it notified cable regulators in September. Federal law largely exempts cable TV rates from local oversight.
Frontier Communications, which offers cable TV in east Multnomah County, Washington County and other communities outside the Portland city limits, has not raised rates this year. But the company raised the installation cost for new subscribers from $79 to $500 in March, and has indicated it's moving away from the cable TV business.
Cable companies have been under pressure from Internet-based programming, as well as a sagging economy that's weighing on viewers' finances. But recent financial reports from the nation's biggest cable operators suggest that the overwhelming majority of viewers are sticking with cable.
Programming costs, and the cost of sports networks in particular, are a big factor in rising cable rates.
Comcast's Northwest sports network is halfway through a 10-year deal for the Portland Trail Blazers' local cable TV rights, paying an estimated $12 million annually -- roughly $1.67 per subscriber, per month.
This year, of course, cable TV viewers aren't getting much basketball for that money. The NBA has locked out its players, and the season is on hold indefinitely.
The NBA is continuing to receive revenue from its national TV contracts during the lockout, according to reports in the national media. But the league must pay that back if it cancels the season.
Neither Comcast nor the Blazers were able to say Tuesday whether Portland's team is collecting revenue from its local TV contract during the lockout.

Ballots in the mail as state primary approaches
More than 660,000 ballots, featuring candidates and several important local measures, were mailed last Thursday to absentee voters for Washington's first top-two primary.
Ballots were mailed to voters serving in the military, living overseas and out of state on July 18 to allow extra transit time for delivery.
New this primary, King County Elections is piloting seven, 24-hour ballot drop boxes throughout the county. The King County Library locations at Algona-Pacific and Black Diamond are two of the six drop-box sites.
All drop boxes will be open 24 hours each day, from now until they close at 8 p.m. on Aug. 19, election day. For more information, visit www.kingcounty.gov/elections/voting/ballotdropboxes.aspx.
This year's primary differs from past primaries. The top-two primary allows voters to choose among all candidates running for each office. Voters do not have to declare a party affiliation to vote. After all ballots are counted, the two candidates who receive the most votes in the primary qualify for the general election.
Candidates also must receive at least 1 percent of the votes cast in that race to advance to the general election.
Voters signed up to receive a mail ballot should receive their ballot at their registered mailing address by Friday, Aug. 8. For more information on voting by mail or to receive your ballot by mail, call 206-296-VOTE (8683) or visit www.kingcounty.gov/vote.
In-person accessible voting is available for all voters starting today through Aug. 18 at King County Elections' Renton office weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. On election day, in-person accessible voting is available from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
King County Elections is located at 919 SW Grady Way in Renton and is accessible on Metro bus route 140.

Cape Town International Convention Centre - South Africa
Strategic Growth Forum 2013 - Growing Beyond - From strategy to execution
As with our inaugural Strategic Growth Forum 2012, we are excited by the response we continue to receive from all those that attended this year. 99 percent of the delegates say that they would return – some for a third time in 2014 – and rated the forum excellent or good.
The themes highlighted at SGF 2013 aligned with those that are emerging for our Africa Attractiveness research. Building from the overwhelming success of the 2011 report, we further developed the story of Africa's growth in 2012 and further to that the report issued in 2013, was all about getting down to business.
Strategic Growth Forum - Africa 2013 - Doing business in Africa – from strategy to execution
A few years ago, the majority of our conversations with clients interested in investing in Africa were focused on articulating the growth story as well as on providing fact-based evidence to support our own positive outlook for the business growth prospects available across the continent.
However increasingly the emphasis of these conversations is shifting from "why" Africa, to "where" and "how."
The focus of our Growing Beyond Strategic Growth Forum (SGF) - Africa 2013 was therefore on the practical realities of growing and doing business in and across the African continent.
CEOs, leading entrepreneurs, investors, industry experts and government officials, all with a passion for Africa, convened once again, providing an unparalleled opportunity to network, learn and hear stories from those who are successfully growing and making a difference across Africa.

Come Heller high water...
- During his visit to Flint, Vice President Joe Biden said, "We don't have to accept the hollowing out of America's police departments and fire departments," and that's true. We don't have to accept it# But we do have to pay for it.. And the only way to do that is to reject the current fad-think that says all taxes are bad. We can have whatever society we want, folks. So what'll it be?
- There's been plenty of community grief over the death of Misty Kurmas, the 13-year-old Flint girl killed in a police chase recently. But no outrage. Why? Police chases kill 360 people a year nationwide, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A lot of those people are innocent bystanders like Misty. So why don't we ever talk about limiting police chases? The man police were chasing was wanted on drug and assault charges. If police didn't chase him, yes, he'd have gotten away but there's a good chance he'd have been caught later, and Misty would still be alive. Seems like an easy choice to me.
- The underwear bomber pleaded guilty Wednesday and now faces life in prison. Personally, I think they should make it life in prison AND he doesn't get to wear underwear ever again. I don't know why. It just seems like he abused the privilege, y'know?
- Since the shoe bomber we have to take our shoes off at the airport# Since the underwear bomber we have to let TSA agents see us nekkid. What happens after some nut swallows a bomb, airport proctologists?
- The weirdest story of the past week was the one about the woman who gave birth just after running the Chicago marathon. People worried about the baby but I worry about the people she beat. Can you imagine how awful they feel? "How'd you do, Bob?"
"Well, I couldn't beat the woman who was nine months pregnant, so not so great."
- The big UM-MSU game is this weekend, so it's joke time. You ready? A Michigan fan, a Michigan State fan and an Ohio State fan are climbing a mountain and arguing about who loves their team the most. The Michigan State fan insists that he is most loyal then yells, "This is for the Spartans!" and jumps off the mountain. Not to be out-done, the Michigan fan says "Oh yeah? Well, this is for the Wolverines!" and pushes the Ohio State fan off the mountain. Nyuk, nyuk. (OK, it wasn't that funny but whattya expect? You ever try to find a fresh college insult joke?)
- Need Has a Face. This week it looks like the Carters, who have a 5-year-old with asthma. They badly need vacuum with a HEPA filter and washer and dryer. To help, call Jan Roberts, Genesee County Asthma Network, at 810-262-9591. Information for these reports is provided by Resource Genesee 810-767-0500.
- "Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps, till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself" – W.C. Doane.

After two weeks on vacation, Gov. Chris Christie's tantrum has passed and he's agreed to provide needed aid to cities that he had earlier cut from the budget.
That comes as a huge relief, because the biggest recipients of this money are poor cities that are already flat on their backs. Camden, for example, got $69 million last year through this program, known as transitional aid. After laying off nearly half its police force this year, any further cuts would be unthinkable.
The dispute centered on oversight of this spending. Everyone agrees that the state should keep close watch on how the money is spent, given the track record of wasteful spending in many of these cities, including Camden.
The question is who should pay for the oversight. Christie's budget took 1 percent of the flow of aid and diverted it back to the state Department of Community Affairs to cover the costs. Democrats felt the state should pay this tab on its own, given the cuts to aid programs over the past two years.
"He's cut it by $70 million from two years ago, down to $139 million," said Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester). "Why would you take this oversight money from the towns, too?"
So in the budget Democrats sent to the governor, the 1 percent was put back into the aid pipeline.
And because Christie's line-item veto allows him only to remove spending items, not to add them, he was powerless to restore the money to the DCA. So he vetoed the entire bill, sending a scare to the cities that depend on this money.
Today he presented a bill that would restore the money and divert 1 percent to the DCA, as he initially intended. He accused Democrats of wanting to kill oversight, his first baseless charge since returning from vacation.
Democrats will no doubt yield in the end, as they must. But today, Sweeney was noncommittal.
"The 1 percent is not a deal-breaker, but we'll have to have a discussion," he said.
With conversation and compromise, this kerfuffle could have been avoided. And that's just what's needed to reach the finish line and seal this deal.

NEW ULM - Collin Helget went 4-for-4 with an RBI to lead New Ulm Cathedral to a 12-2, five-inning win over Tomahawk Conference opponent Comfrey/Cedar Mountain in baseball action on Monday.
Article Photos
Staff photo by Steve Muscatello
New Ulm Cathedral's Nathan Palmer is out at third after trying to slide under the tag of Comfrey/Cedar Mountain third baseman Mitchel Treml Monday at Johnson Park in New Ulm.
For more photos of this event go to cu.nujournal.com
"I came in with a lot of confidence and was just looking for the right pitch to drive," Helget said.
The Greyhounds showed their offensive power again amassing 11 hits and scoring in every inning but the fourth.
Cathedral broke the game open in the second and third innings with four runs in the second and three runs in the third.
The highlight of the second inning was an RBI double by Helget. The three runs in the third came off of a two RBI single by left fielder Nate Palmer and an RBI fielder's choice by first baseman Russ Hoffman.
C/CM put its only two runs on the board in the second when a Cathedral error with two outs allowed two runs to score.
Third baseman Mitch Treml and second baseman Colton Kunkel recorded the only two hits for the Rockets, as both went 1-for-3.
James Herzog was the winning pitcher for Cathedral. He pitched four innings and gave up two runs, zero earned, on two hits, two walks and four strikeouts.
Helget pitched a perfect fifth inning in relief of Herzog.
Despite the one lapse in the third inning, Cathedral's defense played a strong game to back up its pitchers. Its only two errors came in that second inning.
"We work hard on defense to minimize errors and give them the least amount of chances, defense wins games," Helget said.
The Greyhounds needed four runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to end the game. With two outs, Nick Stadick hit a two RBI single followed by a Herzog two RBI double to secure the win.
Riley Berkey was the losing pitcher for C/CM. He allowed five runs on three hits and four walks.
Cathedral shortstop Mike Skillings was 2-for-2 with two walks to make the Greyhound three and four hitters a combined 6-for-6.
Cathedral (6-1, 6-1) plays again today at Buffalo Lake-Hector-Stewart, while C/CM (2-10, 2-9) will play a double-header at Sleepy Eye St. Mary's on Thursday.
