Zermeno, who was named city administrator in 2012, was to meet in executive session Tuesday night with Mayor Anna Lopez Machacek and city council, but chose to announce his resignation before a packed City Hall meeting room.
Zermeno said he could not work with Machacek and the city council, which is seeking to gain more control over city operations and personnel decisions.
"It's clear to me that you want to change the way the city administrator operates," Zermeno said.
The newly elected mayor and city councilpersons Joey Thompson and Cheryl Worley were supported by Goliad Citizens For Effective Government, a local political action committee. The three campaigned on making city government more transparent and efficient.
Zermeno had indicated to the mayor during a May city council meeting that he could not work under conditions in which the mayor and city council assumed administrative duties from the city administrator's job description.
"That's because I couldn't be responsible for things that occur if I didn't have operational control over the city," Zermeno said. "I've always been responsible. I always stood up and said I'm responsible."
City ordinance 2004-451, Section 3 states, "The City Administrator shall be the chief administrative officer of the City and be responsible for planning, organization, management and operation of the City and such other duties and responsibilities as the Mayor and City Council may direct."
"I'm not sure why there's a misunderstanding in the way the city administrator/city manager is supposed to work," Zermeno said.
Machacek spoke with Victoria City Manager Charmelle Garrett and Port Lavaca City Manager Bob Turner to discuss Zermeno's role as city administrator.
"You asked (Garrett) how they operated and she told me that she indicated to you that she had operational control over everything in the city," Zermeno told Machacek. "The mayor and council are policy makers and decision makers and budget approvers. Basically, they give direction and make policy. Yet you insist that the statute says you are going to do the budget and do operations. I'm sure we follow the same statute that Victoria has.
"You also spoke to Bob Turner of Port Lavaca. He called me as well and said that you visited with him. He gave you the same advice. That's what he told me. He also told me that you felt like you were in over your head with some of the items, in particular the budget. I'm just telling you what they told me. It's their obligation to call me under their code of ethics."
Zermeno said he notified city employees of his decision Tuesday.
"If you want to continue in your direction, that's your prerogative," Zermeno told council. "But I also have a choice of whether I want to work in that environment and I choose not to. I am going to resign effective at the end of the month."
Councilwoman Cheryl Worley asked Zermeno to reconsider.
"I will say good luck to the city," Zermeno said. "I love the city of Goliad. I came here to serve. I encourage that you embrace this staff. I don't run the city. They make the city work."
Council unanimously accepted Zermeno's resignation.
"I do so with regret," Zavesky said.
Zavesky then read his resignation from a prepared statement.
"This will serve notice that effective today, I, Buddy Zavesky, will resign my position as City Alderman of the City of Goliad. It has been a long and gratifying time in this position. Things always change and for these reasons and many more it is time for me move along. I wish the city success in the future ad as always the best for the citizens I have served. Thanks again to very one who has made this journey one to remember, especially the former councils and staff for all the hard work and dedication."
Machacek said after the meeting that she was surprised by Zermeno's and Zavesky's resignations. Zavesky would not comment after the meeting.
Also on Tuesday night's agenda were items to give the council more authority on city service and purchase decisions.
Machacek proposed all services engaged by city personnel be pre-approved by council unless the service is required during an emergency affecting the public utilities, public health or public safety. Zavesky made the motion to take no action on the item. The motion was seconded by Councilman Joey Thompson and unanimously approved by council.
Council also voted unanimously to take no action on requiring any purchases greater than $5,000 receive pre-approval from council.

Great Game for Reinforcing Money Skills
By Former Primary Teacher
from Chicago, IL
This is a great product that reinforces money skills! There are 2 levels to this game: Level 1 is more basic. Level 2 counts up to $20.I like how this game incorporates addition and subtraction, along with money recognition/counting. I also like how the buttons of the money reflect what they really do look like.There is also a mute button, so that you don't have to constantly hear the game while the child is playing it.Overall, I really like this product. The child thinks that they are playing a "game", when in actuality, they are practicing money skills and addition/subtraction skills.I would recommend this product for any child in First Grade and up.
Fun and Engaging Money Game!
By 3rd Grade Gridiron
from Tucker, GA
I used this product during my math centers. My kids would play against a partner and had a blast doing so! They loved that each money amount had its own button. Cash Bash was helpful with my students who needed extra help with counting money. It presented the concept in such a fun way that these struggling students felt more confident. It's a fabulous, fun game that every classroom should have! And please note, the sound can be turned on and off - so don't worry about the noises disturbing the other students!

Awesome little toy!
By Cassandra
from Beaumont, CA
This is an awesome electronic toy with two different skill levels, you can easily switch from one level to another with the switch next to the power button. I love that it has the change and dollars along the bottom to help your child associate the "money" with the value on the screen. It helps them add and subtract the money.Another awesome feature about this product is the ability to turn the sound off and on. Sometimes when you are places you don't want your children's toys to be making noise, so to have the ability to turn it off is priceless.The screen is easy to use, the size is awesome and fits right in your child's hand.

Great Reviewing Resource
By My Four Monkeys
from Richmond, VA
We tried out the Cash Bash Electronic Flash Card, and in a matter of minutes, my kids were back up to speed on those coins and their values after the summer break!I can't wait to use Cash Bash with my preschooler when he gets older, and it's been a great review for 7 and 9 year old. Cash Bash combines the fun of a handheld game with the learning and skills needed for counting money. There are two different difficulty levels (one with just coins, and one that also involves bills), and each level's game time runs about 60 seconds. My kids can sit and play these short 60 second rounds forever! The goal is to solve as many "problems" as you can in 60 seconds. Each "problem" consists of an amount being flashed at the top of the screen, then using the coin and bill buttons, your child has to match that amount exactly.Cash Bash helps them retain the coin values and is also a great way to practice counting by fives, tens, etc. The one-player game also has sound, and gives audio feedback as you make selections. I love that the sound can easily be turned off with the switch of a button which makes this game/learning device perfect for on-the-go!*I was provided this product free of charge for the purpose of this review. All opinions are my own.*

Easy To Use

from Greenfield, MA
My 6 year old loves this!! He plays for hours telling me how much money he needs me to give him!!! The only thing that is tough with this toy is that it eats batteries often. We bought rechargeable batteries and that helps!

- Author(s)
- Newton, Peter W.; Wilson, B. G.; Crawford, John R.; Tucker, Selwyn N.; Clarke, S.
- Abstract
- Construction in all advanced industrial societies is fragmented. On a single project, a variety of design technologies reside within different AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) firms which are frequently dispersed geographically (and increasingly internationally). Coordination during design and construction can be enhanced via electronic networking among the various AEC firms and the project manager. This paper is a description of a prototype CAD (computer-aided design) conferencing system jointly developed by CSIRO and Telecom Research Laboratories capable of operating on high-speed wide area networks (WANs) linking heterogeneous CAD platforms (hardware, software, networks). It represents a new paradigm in construction, introducing the potential of virtual private networks---project WANs for virtual organisations formed as a result of strategic alliances between individual AEC firms which come together for a particular joint venture. The technical as well as management issues to be resolved and document costs and benefits of CAD conferencing versus traditional methods of operation are all highlighted.

RE: Freedom of Information Act Case log #08-035 February 11, 2008
This letter is an initial response to your February 5, 2008 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request received by the Peace Corps on February 6, 2008, asking for the Description of Service (DOS) documents of all volunteers who have ever served in the Peace Corps. You also asked for a waiver of fees for this request.
The DOS documents are a Privacy Act system of records, but segregable portions of those records are releasable when requested under the FOIA. Any personally identifiable information would be removed from the documents and withheld under exemption (b)(6) of the FOIA.
We are, however, denying your request for a fee waiver, and as such the following estimate of charges would apply to completion of your request:
It is estimated that the total number of pages responsive to your request is 600,000. Our reproduction charge of $0.10 per page would result in a fee of $60,000.
One FP-7 level employee working an estimated 14,166 hours to copy and redact all responsive documents, at the rate of $21.00 per hour, would equal $297,486.
The total for completion of your request would be approximately $357,486. If you are willing to pay this amount, please contact us regarding proper arrangements. You may also wish to contact us in regards to refining your request in a lesser charge.

ŌĆ£A lot of people come just for our biscuits,ŌĆØ he said recently, noting that SidŌĆÖs on Main was just about to enter its third year. That a casual dining restaurant can do well in a town comfortable with fast food speaks volumes about how well Canton has supported the restaurant, as well as how this blue-collar paper mill town has changed.
More and more, Sid and Page are serving young professionals (and their families) who work in Asheville but live in Canton because itŌĆÖs more affordable.
ŌĆ£We see a lot of that,ŌĆØ said Page, who makes the pecan pie and all the restaurantŌĆÖs desserts.
One diner decided to open her interior decorating business in Canton, Page said, because it costs less to run it there than in Asheville.
ŌĆ£For young families, a starter home here versus a starter home in Asheville? WeŌĆÖre seeing more and more people moving here,ŌĆØ Page said.
SidŌĆÖs on Main is in a historic block of buildings in downtown Canton not far from the former Champion plant, now Evergreen Packaging. The restaurant occupies the ground floor of the old Queen Anne-style hotel that former mayor Pat Smathers is renovating.
The Imperial Hotel was built in 1876 as a private home in a sparsely populated area called Pigeon Ford (so named because people could ford across the Pigeon River there). William H. Moore and his wife Rhoda built it at about the same time that the railroad arrived in Pigeon Ford, according to a history the Truesdales provided. In fact, steel railroad track was used as support beams.
Canton didnŌĆÖt exist at the time; it would not be incorporated for another 17 years. Champion Paper and Fiber Co. arrived in 1903, bringing so many people to Canton that in 1910 W.T. Sharpe bought the house and turned it into a hotel, according to the historical account. He added a four-story tower on the west side of the building and built a three-story brick commercial building next door. Business was so good that Sharpe more than doubled the size of the hotel by adding guest rooms and a larger dining space. Advertised in 1916 as ŌĆ£one of the stateŌĆÖs best two-dollar hotels,ŌĆØ it had about 40 rooms, spacious verandahs and bountiful meals.
The building was a boarding house through the 1930s. In the 1950s, the front part of the hotel was converted into department stores, which remained through the 1970s. Sid remembers them, having grown up in Canton.
HeŌĆÖs been cooking since he was little. ŌĆ£I played basketball (at Pisgah High School) before they had microwaves,ŌĆØ he said, ŌĆ£so when IŌĆÖd come home after school, IŌĆÖd fix me something to eat before I went to practice at 5 oŌĆÖclock.ŌĆØ
He got his first break in cooking after college when he became friends with the late Tom Young at the former Expressions restaurant in Hendersonville.
ŌĆ£He took his time to show me around in the kitchen,ŌĆØ Sid said. ŌĆ£At the time, I was awestruck. I had no technical training. Tom asked me, ŌĆśWhat do you want to eat?ŌĆÖ I said, ŌĆśIŌĆÖll have the special.ŌĆÖ He said, ŌĆśYou cook it.ŌĆÖ He showed me, step by step.ŌĆØ
A little more than two years ago, Sid and Page, who is also from Canton, were living in Greenville, S.C. Sid was running a restaurant, and Page was driving to Canton four days a week to help with the family business. They were happy to get the chance to come home and open the restaurant.
ŌĆ£Half the people thought we were nuts, and the other half thought it was a great idea,ŌĆØ Sid said.
Fine dining in Canton ŌĆō what are you thinking, is what Sid said the doubters thought. The other half welcomed the casual, family dining that he and Page were bringing to town.
ŌĆ£They were happy they didnŌĆÖt have to drive to Asheville to get good food,ŌĆØ she said.
But it wasnŌĆÖt as easy for the Truesdales. There were a couple of months at the beginning that drove Sid nuts. Things started turning around for the better in spring 2012, he said. Word of mouth was bringing people in. Now, people come from Canton, Enka-Candler, Waynesville and Maggie Valley. Many are vacationing in the area and read about SidŌĆÖs on Yelp and TripAdvisor.
As much as the pecan pie and drop biscuits are bringing in people, so is the building, the Truesdales said.
ŌĆ£The building is what makes this,ŌĆØ Sid said.
ŌĆ£It has so much character,ŌĆØ Page added.

So, they won one. Cue the fireworks!
I kid, I kid. Jimmy Rollins singled in the winning run in the 12th inning to give the Phillies a 4-3 win over the Giants to avoid being swept. John Mayberry Jr. homered twice, giving him eight for the season. Chase Utley hit his first triple of the season.
Joe Blanton gave them eight pretty good innings, striking out seven, but couldn't hold the lead in the top half of the eighth as he gave up a second home run to Nate Schierholtz to tie it at three. That sent the game, unnecessarily, to extras.
A major positive was the job done by the bullpen. Antonio Bastardo, Jeremy Horst, and Kyle Kendrick combined to throw four shutout innings, which allowed for Rollins to knock in Carlos Ruiz to win it in the 12th.
Finally, something to cheer about.
0 Comments
I don't get your comment "That sent the game, unnecessarily, to extras." What should everyone on the team have done to prevent this, change the rules?
If you're going to make statements like that, you need to back them up with ironclad information. Lots of pitchers give up three runs; in fact the Phils' "ace" gave up five yesterday. Lots of managers use their starter into the eighth when he's been doing a good and rather efficient job. So was it the offense's fault for not scoring more runs? Should Blanton or Bastardo have given up the game winner just so everyone could get more rest? Should Blanton, with his near 5.00 ERA have done even better than he did giving up only 3 runs?
"Unnecessarily" my butt. When a game is tied, it's absolutely impossible not to go into extras. Even school children know that.
George – I think what Pat was trying to say is that giving up the tying HR was frustrating in that it tied up the game which eventually went into extra innings. Maybe it was the wrong choice of a word but I don't think it's necessary to jump all over Pat, who does a great job running this site which, may I remind you, is a place where all of us…yourself included….come to vent, share ideas, celebrate or bitch and moan.
agreed on that chuck!
If he wanted to indicate frustration he should have just said, "I was frustrated," instead of saying something that made no sense.
Pat is generally one of the best guys on here, and I don't think pointing out an issue in his post was in any way "jumping on him." To me it was just a questionable statement needing comment.
Also, if this site is for venting, sharing ideas, or bitching and moaning, why are you complaining when I do just that?
It was the WAY you pointed it out, George. Sometimes you can come off as pretty condescending.
Not to diminish the Phils win today that takes the internet core out of trade Rollins and fire Amaro mode for a day, but here's something to fantasize through.
Start of the year, the Phils were at 1 time 6-1 faves to win the World Series, best in the sport. Joke that that number was at any point since RyHo had gone down, and the strong on paper Rangers were around, there was another Vegas number that looks as comical in review, and dwarfs the Phils situation in shock content.
You find me any book, any fan, any human that thought the A's would lose less than 100, and we're talking reward money comparable with the most of any missing persons. For the first time since Mulder-Hudson-Zito, they broke up their starting rotation. And while hot isn't permanent (they leave home today to play at Toronto, then at Baltimore), at this writing, they have possession of wild card spot number 2.
The beleaguered A's play in what's reputed to be the worst stadium in America. In what's essentially a 2 team market. Those challenges make their incredible history that much more of an achievement. They lose a few years, but when they do put it together, they are really, really good. Cases in point, the Reggie years, the Bash years, and the turn of this century, when they didn't win it all, but were there, including consecutive 100 win years.
If you took this years A's story, off expectations, and they were still in Philly, it's fascinating to think how the public attention would be trending. Phillie fans grope for playoff possibilities these days. If the A's were in the Delaware Valley, the Phillies would be fortunate to get coverage outside of the obituaries. They've had a few down years, but even dating back to Mr. Mack's years, when they get in win mode, boy, do they do it. In a way, it's pretty exciting compared to the Red-Sox-Yanks-Phillies class that grab attention much easier.
Ken – Who gives a damn about the A's? They're a great story. So what? Is there a lesson here for the Phillies? – I don't see one. The A's have to suck every few years until the prospects they traded for come into their own – only to be traded away once they play well. Billy Beane is very good at what he does. And they have been L-U-C-K-Y like no team I have ever seen with their trades.
The Dipsy
There's not so much a lesson to be learned from it, but it's interesting to me at least to see their history of trading pitchers who don't seem past their peak like Hudson-Mulder and Zito, and again this year with the likes of Gio and Cahill compared to the desperate feeling many of us convey regarding keeping Cole. Them at least being in the hunt all of a sudden, even if they might endure more losing is kind of ironic in the assumed waning days of the Hamels crisis. And they certainly don't lose forever, even if the strong peaks are not sustained.
But if you want a specific lesson, admittedly mostly in hindsight, it would have been interesting to see the Phils get Cespedes and see what would have transpired.
I'd say that the lesson for the Phillies after today is that, despite finding a way to win, that they're still not gonna make the playoffs.
Ken – Beane trades them because he can't pay them – not because he is trying to trade them a "year too early rather than a year too late". I wanted Cespedes too.
The Dipsy
Dipsey i can speak for ken. but what i get out of it is what a wierd season it's been! everthing seems upside down! look at the standings A's , Balt, Pitt, Mets! if anybody would have told you at the beginning of the year thoses teams would be in their position in the standings you would have said along with me huhhh! i didn't include the nats cause i knew they would be much better, you could see it coming.
now losing an ace is another thing. just because you lose an ace or a star player doesn't mean an org. lost their chance to compete at a high level. the A's are doing it this year after losing one of their best pitchers! he was with that team last year and they sucked. (G gonzales) another example would be the mariners trading griffey and the big unit and they won 116 games the following year.
Blanton pitched well, the bullpen came through strongly, and John Mayberry (John Mayberry???) hit two home runs. So we celebrate. Let's celebrate every time they win, and forget about the playoffs.
A solid effort by Sloppy Joe today. Kudos to him. I'd really enjoy a run of wins to at least end on a high note.
May not be noticed but I think Kendrick has put together a streak of 18 shutout innings. His last six against the Pirates (after giving up 5 runs in the 1st inning), his seven innings against the Braves and his last five innings in relief.
I think one of the biggest problems with the Phillies right now is that Charlie doesn't really trust anyone coming out of the bullpen. That's why Hamels was out there against SF in the 8th inning and that's why he left Worley in when it was clear he was losing it in the 6th inning on Friday night. What Charlie doesn't realize is that he has to trust there guys to do the job.
Anyway, I think Laynce Nix will be a big addition to the club.
I noticed it, although I didn't think the streak was actually that long. KK has been good out of the pen and needs to stay there. He excels in that role for some reason. That veteran presence in the bullpen is JUST what the Phillies need right now. I've always liked KK….in the right role…. and never could understand all the hate that's directed at him.
you got that dead on david! that's why i personally would like to see cholly go! i think the mental aspect of the team has to change. and that means trading some of the vets and replacing cholly.
The only thing Blanton proved in this game is his viability in the trade market. As for Rollins, I like the positive spirit coming back from him. After the trade deadline, I just hope and cross my fingers that we'll get truly good relief pitchers in exchange for Blanton and Victorino.
Artemis –
Don't expect any relief pitchers – only 15 teams looking for them, you have to be a buyer. Best we can hope for is some prospects to help rebuild the team in 2-3-4 years. These are tough trades but Victorino is probably gone anyway so you get a little for him rather than nothing.
Hi Bob — If we don't get relief pitchers after the trade, then we're done for. Unless our present bullpen continue to perform consistently good like in this game, I won't hold my breath on that hope. But how did the Cardinals do it? Repair their bullpen, ten games under last season? Why can't we do the same? 🙁
Artemis – We ARE done for. No question about that, even if we got a better bullpen, the hole they dug is simply too deep. As for the Cardinals, they really did not do anything, that bullpen that was horrible for most of the year all turned around in the playoffs.
This year is DONE, DONE, DONE. Let's focus on the future in these transactions.
After going to Saturday's soul-crushing game, it was a little comforting to see them get a walk-off win yesterday.
Let's win some more. Saturday almost completely dashed my playoff hopes… but I'm sticking to what I said earlier this month. If they're in the single-digits in games-behind in the WC race, I think they will have a decent shot of pulling it off.
"If they're in the single-digits in games-behind in the WC race" ***by the end of July.
No, they are DONE, simple math. It is not just number of games behind but how many teams. Some of those teams have to win every day. As an example the Nats can only fall so far before the Braves replace them. It's not like we are in second place.
Good observation from Mandy Housenick, one of the best writers on Doc's start tonight…
"Today's start could be very telling for Roy Halladay.
While he pitched well in his last start (2 ER, 5.0 IP), which was his first since coming off the disabled list where he spent more then seven weeks with a right lat strain, he threw only 80 pitches.
Will his arm strength be there for somewhere in the 100-pitch range? Will fatigue start to set it? That's not something you usually have to worry about with Halladay, but his last time out against the Dodgers, he did look like he was dragging, albeit just a bit, as he got deeper into the game."
That first time back can be pretty adrenalin driven. Not being first hand involved, I'm reasonably clueless on the subject at hand, but I'd like to see a little base building before getting back to 100 pitches. Maybe a more comfortable 80 again, 90 tops. Doc goes 80 against LA, 100 tonight, and then 115-120 over the weekend, it strikes as a little too much, too soon. Anyway, this is more than less a mandatory sweep, but the Doc can only do so much. He can do more later, if the chance exsists. For now, the Crew, Fish and Mets look semi-catchable, trade results pending, get there, and then the Bucs, Braves, Cards and Dodgers might be discussable. Wildcard wise, at least.
It'd be nice if Doc cared about my health as much as I seem to his.
He'll be expected to throw more today against the Brewers, a team that has mixed success against him.
Second thought addendums…
Doc threw 60 in his rehab, then 80 V LA. Emphasizes the push that 100 is.
Secondly, didn't mention stress of the work, which is more important than the PC. But for numbers sake, even 90 would be high if a Jewish mother were managing the ballclub. I'm told they are overprotective, and I believe everything I read.
Ken, you might find this article interesting — another perspective on Mandy's writing: http://www.thegoodphight.com/2012/7/23/3177024/hamels-re-signing-not-promising-says-writer-using-selective-quotations
Twitter led me to the article I quoted. I don't read Mandy too often. I have glanced through her work, there wasn't enough to keep my attention. I might be prejudiced by her reporting of Chase's first game back last year when he didn't tip his cap, which she essentially conveyed a real distaste for. I exercised my right to make up my own mind to fully disagree, and it's at least a maybe as to if that's clouded my judgement of her. But I was steered to her article, thought she had good perspective on Doc's assignment tonight, and quoted her.
by the way, I wrote one of the best writers, it should have been beat writers.
Typos are my life.
Manny – I love your positive approach and enthusiasm, I really do. BUT… they have 7 teams in front of them just to get to that 2nd wild card spot. And they're 10.5 games back. Sure…it COULD happen. St Louis last year. Colorado in 2007. But how many teams did they have to climb over to get there?? I don't know….I'm asking. But I doubt it was 7.
I started thinking if they could leapfrog over just one team each week that by the middle of September they would be right there. But, again, a LOT has to go right and in their favor in order for that to happen. And it starts by reeling off something like 8 or 10 in a row and maybe some sort of 17 out of 20 run or whatever.
I haven't given up completely….cause as a fan you just can't do that. But I have my serious doubts.
Futhermore….think about this for a minute….. It's July 23rd and the Phillies can only afford between 18 and 20 more losses if they want to even sniff the 2nd Wild Card Spot.
Oh I have my serious doubts, too. But I'm seeing good signs lately. The lineup appears more stable… the bullpen looks like it's finally putting it together (not too worried about Papelbon)… We're throwing Halladay, Lee, Worley, Hamels out there in a row. We'll need a hell lot of luck, but at least the pieces are finally in place.
Jesus. Of course Doc would only throw 80 pitches. Gotta let him build his arm strength. He'll be fine.
The Phillies, according to DipsyStats.com, have a 4% chance of making the playoffs this year. Given that number, I believe the proper posture for any Phils fan would be to hope that Hamels is signed, Bastardo pitches well, Chase's knees hold up, and that RAJ can make prudent trades with a time horizon being the 2013 season and beyond. Sitting and waiting for the Phils to rip off a 23 out of 27 is unrealistic. It would be great, don't get me wrong, but I am primping for next season.
The Dipsy
According to MLBTR the Hamels negotiatons have reached a "sensitive" stage. What the hell does THAT mean??? Either he accepts or he doesn't.
And it's reported that the offer is 6/127.5. Huh??? Seriously??? If Ruben thinks for one minute that that's gonna get it done then he's on something pretty freakin' strong. So much for that 6/138-144 deal that was reported last week.
I just want this over with already… one way or another.
Sounds like a load of manure to me. "Sensitive" is just press"sound bite" which really just means "we've been locked out, so we'll have to invent something. Sensitive sounds as good as anything."
I also have doubts about that offer. Did Amaro or John Boggs, or Cole himself actually tell Rosenthal or Heyman or whoever about the actual figure? That would be a major breach of negotiation etiquette, and one side or the other would be screaming "foul!"
Absolutely Chuck. I agree. At this point, if I'm Hamels, I just tell them flat out "here's what its gonna take". What are they negotiating over? 6/144 gets it done I think. Can someone tell me, over the span of six years, what the practical effect of the difference between 127.5 (.5 haha thats funny) and 144 is? You get six more years of selling Hamels merchandise which will alone make up for the difference. Don't make Cole mad.
The Dipsy
15-16 million dollars over six years on a contract of 130-145 million is the equivalent of nickeling and diming. Ridiculous. And yet I'm not surprised. Sometimes the Phillies can come off as being a bit "cheap." It's weird when you think of what they gave Howard, Lee and Papelbon. I don't get it.
Yes, but wouldn't you love to have those kinds of nickles, and those kinds of dimes?
Halladay vs our old friend Randy Wolf tonight.
Would seem like a probable Phillies win.
Except Roy is on a short leash ( which means more bullpen) and Wolf is indeed a left hander.
I am 50/50 on Cole. Sure Id like to have him back but I dont think he can make this same group win. He couldnt do it this year. Why would he be able to next year?
I am getting the vibe that the Phillies plan to keep the same group. Howard Rollins Utley Ruiz Pence Victorino Lee Halladay Hamels Papleban.
I know some of you think that they can bring all the same guys back next year and it will be all better. I dont see how. 33 year old players dont get better.
I will say that if a new manager came in. Who wasnt beholden to past performance or contract status there could be a real chance with the same group. A guy who isnt their buddy and worried about their feelings. Will sit anyone if its a bad match up etc etc.
But that wont happen I dont think.
I actually think this group has a better chance to come back this year. at 4%
Than bringing the whole group back next year has. Which I put at less than 2%.
If they are going to come back though it starts tonihgt with Roy and they need to go from there.
Its 1 in 25 but thats better than 1 in 50.
AFW – I don't think anyone believes that the Phils are gonna drag back the same core and hope to win. LF, CF, and 3B will have fresh faces. Maybe RF, too. You bring Cole back and inject some OBP, defense, and speed and I think you'll have a contending club. They will get some bullpen arms. I believe that this lineup will be profoundly different than this years lineup.
If the team is going to rely on more speed in their offense and to try to be able to score runs without the HR than they will need a new manager. Its not Charlie's fault. Its just not his bag.
The Dipsy
@ Dipsy hope you are right.
Maybe its just the broadcasters dribble lol
And youve been on somewhat the same page as me for awhile.
Just to throw this out there. In 2011 ( I wont get into 2012 as Howards only 12 ABs but its bad)
Mayberry slugged .595 with a .953 OPS in 111 ABs vs left handed pitching.
Howard slugged .347 with a .634 OPS in 170 ABs
Why would Howard start at first in the playoffs ( and hit 4th) and you sit Mayberry vs a lefty?
Not even singling out Howard at all or trying to make this about him. It is not.
Its a fundamental thing. For some reason the Phillies seem unable to ever do anything to their marquee players except just putting them in the same situations. No matter how poor the match up is.
I just dont know that any team could ever win long term with that mindset.
If this one thing would change ( the attitude of entitlement to the marquee players). I think it would be more productive to the franchise than signing any player could be.
2013 Phillies a new manager and a new attitude? Yes we can.
AFW – You bring back the same "core" (maybe Shane is gone) with a revamped bullpen and if your #3 and #4 hitters are healthier than they are this year then I think you can't help but be better. Will they contend? Maybe…maybe not.
Charlie's thing is continuity. Same players in the same role night after night. Comfort level and set expectations breed effectiveness. It can work but it ALWAYS gets stale eventually. Tony LaRussa yells at people, moves people around, busts players to the minors and keeps guys on their toes. That style works too. You always follow a Charlie with a LaRussa and vice versa.
Would like to have Headley but apparently people are now confusing him with Wade Boggs. Nice player – I'll give ya something for him – but lets not get carried with the guy. If you can sign a banger or two you could actually bring Polanco back at 2m. He can play 3B or 2B. Not crazy about it but he'd be cheap.
The Dipsy
Im with the maybe not Chuck A. I was a firm believer in the "core" of players even when people where ranting about change needed. I believed and still do to a extent the "core" was a group of winners, that more often a not would find a way to win. They might of not of been perfect, but overall they where great. However, as most things in life i think its run its course. Something has to change and probably a few somethings as well. For whatever reason that some of the elite posters can discuss, it appears the formula isnt working anymore. It happens and i think its happened here this year.
Dempster to Braves for Julio Teheran (who's gonna be awesome) and another top 15 prospect who they're not sure of yet. Dempster FA at end of year and owed $5.
The Dipsy
Strike that. Thats completely wrong. Dempster did go to Braves though. Don't know who Cubs got.
The Dipsy
Dempster is good.
Braves are trying to win. And see the vulnerability of the Nats.
To me I see the Braves as more vulnerable. Id bet on the Nats and theyve never been here before. The first time is always the toughest.
Werth got his first rehab start last night. Back soon.
If the Braves give up a prospect like Teheran for three months of Ryan Dempster… then we should all be happy about it. That'd be dumb.
According to Dempsters twitter no deal is done.
And yea if they are giving up a top prospect for 3 month rental you would think they want to extend the contract or give up less.
I just want effin Hamels signed. This is causing an inordinate amount of stress in my life. I've been screwing up at work and I hit my wife this morning (just in the stomach) and I've beeb battling a good deal of road rage. Cmon already!
The Dipsy
Yeah, Dipsy…I know what you mean. This is ri-fkn-diculous. I just don't get what the big holdup is. Sounds to me like he has to "think" about it or something. Uhhhh….Cole….excuse me…. but you've had MONTHS now to think about it.
Maybe he hasn't had months to think about it. It's possible no realistic offers were on the table until a week or two ago.
It's also possible that the dollars have been worked out and that all the "thinking" is in the details.
It's also possible that Hamels' agent is screwing around trying to get Hamels' to demand more (he'd get a bigger cut).
It's possible, too, that some of the thinking is Amaro wondering if he's committing to too much money or too many years (It's still not known if Amaro actually did pull the Madson offer off the table, as claimed by some).
In other words, you can't just assume that it's Hamels' who is responsible for any delays.
George – I'm not gonna put a whole lot into a rebuttal here. I'm tired and it's early. But the one thing I will say is that you know what I meant by my comment. OF COURSE, I realize that maybe no realistic, formal offer was out there months ago. But I think 99% of the people on here knew what I was trying to say…..that for months now Cole Hamels has had time to think about free agency, his worth, Matt Cain's contract, Johan Santana's contract (which has come up as a point of comparison as well), whether he wants to stay in Philly, etc., etc., etc. Can you please just stop trying to pick everyone's comments apart all the time?? Frankly, it's getting old.
Chuck A: EVERYBODY here picks comments apart, including yourself. You're also making a huge assumption in saying that 99% of the people here knew what you were trying to say. And you're putting thoughts in my head when you say that I "know what I meant by my comment." If I knew what you meant, I wouldn't have responded; if you'd actually stated what you meant clearly and fairly, and without the quasi-swearing, I wouldn't have responded.
You can complain all you want about the length of negotiations. But I'd bet that if you were thinking for months about your job status for the next six years, and someone finally offered you something, that you'd probably have to wait a while to consider all the potential ramifications. I know I would; to do otherwise could potentially trap me in a situation I might not like.
You might also complain that Hamels has had enough time to think about his status and his worth. But time also has a way of changing things. The Phils didn't stink when free agency first came up, and Cain hadn't signed his extension yet. The situation has changed dramatically since the off season.

Data Resources
At NASA we believe we have reached the "Golden Age" of oceanography. For the first time in history, citizens of planet Earth have access to decades of information about the Earth's largest system: the oceans. As a lead technology agency NASA has led the way in collecting these data.
Currently NASA collects data that tell us about: Ocean surface Topography or Wave Height, Sea Surface Temperature, Ocean Surface Winds, Ocean Currents, Ocean Color, and Sea Surface Salinity (upcoming mission). These missions and data sets are part of a 25-year plan to measure, monitor, and thus better understand the Earth's oceans.

"Efforts have been underway for the last year to find a solution to our dwindling water supply," Ballí said. "It is the intention of the City Council to ensure that we secure water for our future in the most cost-effective way and in the most objective manner."
Ballí said water is not readily available at Chase Field. It would take much more than signing an agreement to have access to wells on the property.
"The reality is that the city would be required to rehabilitate an existing well, drill three additional wells, pay to tie the wells into an existing 14-inch line, pre-treat the well water, construct a 250,000-gallon storage tank and then pay additional funds for all the water pulled out," the city manager said.
Ballí also questioned the $0.62 per 1,000 gallons charge that BDA Executive Director Joe B. Montez would want for the water.
The city manager did not question the notion that purchasing water from Chase Field would provide money for creating jobs in the community.
"Residents should ask why they should pay for something they indirectly already own," Ballí said.
"The city deeded the land to the BDA and they have control of the land as long as they exist. The land could eventually revert back to the city if the BDA no longer existed," Ballí explained. "Their proposal would have the city pay all upfront costs and then pay an additional $295,000 per year."
Ballí also addressed Montez's claim that the BDA knows of investors interested in developing the project.
"If that is the case, the city would gladly pay the $0.62/1,000 gallons. But that is not the offer currently on the table."
Even then, the development of wells at Chase Field would not solve the city's problem.
"Our current average demand is 3.5 million gallons a day (mgd)," Balli said. In the summer that peaks at about 5.2 mgd.
"A million gallons a day would help, but we would still have to look for additional water supplies," Ballí said.
The city manager also said she wants to set another aspect of the city's position straight. The city is not flush with cash. There is no $12 million cash reserve set aside for utility infrastructure projects.
"The Utility Fund currently has $2 million in cash for operational purposes. Utility rates have barely kept pace with increasing costs. Utility Fund revenues are generated based on service rates charged to their customers for utility services the city provides."
Ballí said if a city the size of Beeville ever had $12 million in cash reserves, residents would be asking why rates are so high.
The city manager said the only reason the city has not acted on the offer of using the Chase Field wells is that the staff and the City Council have been looking at all alternatives.
"A project such as this is complicated and built on costly assumptions," Ballí said. "We have been told that we have a two-year supply of water if the area does not get another major water event."
Fast-tracking the reverse osmosis and 1,700-foot well into the Jasper aquifer "gets the city additional water within one year," Ballí said.
The solution proposed by engineer Bill Norris of NorrisLeal Engineering Water makes sense because it provides the city with a stable, long-term water supply with a minimum economic effect on the community. Also, it allows the water source to be in the control of the residents of the city.
"Long-term water solutions must make sense in both drought and non-drought conditions," Ballí said.
"When you compare the two alternatives, wells in the aquifer recommended by the BDA can only pump 200-300 gallons a minute," Ballí said, "and would require 10 wells to produce the same amount of water projected by one well inside the city limits."
Also, wells drilled on the BDA property would be subject to drawdown restrictions and limitations set by the Bee County Groundwater District. The proposed well inside the city would not be held to the same restrictions.
Ballí said experts who have been consulting for the city have said taking 1 mgd from one well at Chase Field would violate the drawdown restrictions.
To get around those restrictions the city would have to drill four wells spaced a quarter mile apart so that the water would be taken from different parts of the Goliad aquifer.
Even then, taking that much water out of the Goliad aquifer could, over time, cause the level of the water in the sands to drop and affect other users of that aquifer.
There is no other known local user of the water in the Jasper aquifer, Ballí said. That means there would be little likelihood that the well could have an environmental impact.
The Jasper well and reverse osmosis plan could meet up to half of the city's water needs if the demand remains as it is.
If Corpus Christi has to reduce or eliminate Beeville's use of surface water from Lake Corpus Christi, the city could drill additional wells and expand the process equipment at the RO plant to provide 100 percent of the current demand.
"The projected cost of the city well is $12.3 million for 3 million gallons of water per day vs. $4,827,000 for 1.3 mgd without pretreatment," Ballí said.
The estimates are based on an engineer's analysis of both alternatives. The bottom line results in $1.60 per 1,000 gallons for 3 mgd with the well drilled in the city instead of a projected $2.34 per 1,000 gallons for 1.3 mgd from the Chase Field well.
The city well also could produce a cost savings, depending on the amount of water pumped, that could reach $800,000 a year.
The city plans a series of town hall meetings for discussion of the project with the first one scheduled for Thursday, March 28, at 6 p.m. at the Community Center.
Ballí said everyone who has concerns should attend the meetings.
"Availability to water is the most important issue facing the City of Beeville," Ballí said. "Staying informed allows residents to make decisions based on truths and facts. Decisions today will affect the future of our children and future generations."

In the late 1960s, the market for small-bore two-stroke trail bikes was exploding. When Harley-Davidson realized that Hodaka was selling 10,000 bikes a year, they decided to jump into the 100cc trailbike market. Since Harley owned the Italian Aermacchi factory, they had them build an Italian Harley dirt bike. It was called the Harley Baja 100 and was hopelessly tall, short wheel-based, underpowered and ill-handling.
But Harley didn't give up on the Baja 100. They had their race team hire some of the best desert racers in SoCal. The riders included Bruce Ogilvie, Terry Clark, Earl Roeseler, Larry Roeseler and Mitch Mayes. As you would expect, Baja 100s were soon dominating the trailbike class and selling like hot cakes.
Unfortunately, what the customers were buying wasn't what the Harley team was racing. The stock Baja 100 had rigid footpegs, no horsepower, a huge overlay sprocket on the rear wheel (that often came loose), a tank shaped like a lunchbox and a very hard seat. Oh, did we mention stupid handlebars and street-bike grips? The Bajas did, however, have Baby Ceriani forks, abundant ground clearance and racy Italian looks.Harley-Davidson's entry into the offroad market coincided with the arrival of Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki on the scene. It didn't take long for Baja customers to realize that they had been duped. Harley-Davidson tried to enter the dirt bike market twice after that — once in 1976 with the rear-forked 250 and again in 1978 with the ill-fated MX250.
Suggested retail in 1971 was $670. Harley Bajas are growing in popularity as collector bikes, and a well-restored example can sell for as much as $7500.
Harley sold the Baja 100 in 1970 and 1971. In 1972 through 1974, they produced the SR100, which was basically a Baja 100 with lights. The offroad version was discontinued.
The Baby Ceriani forks are very cool, and with their large aluminum knob "friction" steering damper, they really stand out. Though the tank looks like an afterthought, its uniqueness makes it a must-have. Look for the overlay rear sprocket, stamped pipe, Dellorto carb, and clutch and brake lever assemblies with big grips that look like they came off the big Harleys.
Replacement parts are very scarce. The "World's Baja 100 Expert" is Rudy Pock. He built our featured machine for the Early Years of MX Museum and has a vast collection of spare parts. Contact Rudy at firstname.lastname@example.com.
