SCOTT SIMON, host:
This week, NPR News has been examining the shady world of confidential informants. Today, we shift gears and focus on one of the good guys. He played by the rules. He gathered evidence on Mexico's drug gangs. So, why did the federal government turn on him? It's the final story in our series in collaboration with the Center for Investigative Reporting, and it's reported by Andrew Becker.
ANDREW BECKER: Last July in Seattle, federal agents announced one of the biggest drug busts in the city's history. They took down a cocaine and methamphetamine network that extended from Washington state to central Mexico. For local media, the press conference was one of those made-for-TV moments, when the cops lay out seized guns and drugs like trophies.
Unidentified Man: The feds say this is an arsenal of a Mexican drug gang. One of the guns, a .50-caliber pistol.
BECKER: Federal agents penetrated the group with the help of a longtime confidential informant. His name is Ernesto Gamboa. Gamboa agreed to talk about his double life because he no longer works for the government.
He's a citizen of El Salvador, but has lived off and on in the U.S. since the early 1990s. Gamboa says he infiltrated the Mexican gang by posing as a Colombian drug trafficker.
Mr. ERNESTO GAMBOA (Former Informant): When I have a target in front of me, I'm a totally different person. I'm Tony from Colombia and everything changed. I totally changed.
BECKER: Gamboa says he liked working as a police informant, but the big Seattle case was his last. He walked away from the investigation weeks before it ended, saying federal agents failed to pay him and deliver on other promises. Then, just days after the press conference, Gamboa got a shock. It started with this seemingly innocuous phone message from an agent of the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, or ICE.
Unidentified Man: Can you please give me a call? I have some paperwork I got to get to you somehow or another. Thanks a lot. Talk to you later. Bye.
BECKER: Gamboa thought the message was all about getting paid for his work, but it was a setup. ICE agents arrested Gamboa and put him in immigration lockup, pending deportation. To Gamboa, returning to his native El Salvador would be a death sentence.
Mr. GAMBOA: It's a dangerous country, and it's easy to find people and easy for any drug dealers to hire somebody for a thousand dollars. And I will be killed.
BECKER: Gamboa is a stocky 41-year-old. He asked that we not reveal what he looks like or where he lives out of fear that drug gangs might retaliate. Immigration agents seem to brush off Gamboa's safety concerns, but they had a harder time ignoring the backlash his arrest unleashed.
Retired narcotics detective Tom Zweiger supervised Gamboa in earlier investigations. He was livid.
Mr. TOM ZWEIGER (Retired Narcotics Detective): Looks to me like they took from him as much as they could and then just decided, OK, he's a nuisance to us anyway so we'll just deport him because we can. There was no reason for this to happen.
BECKER: Zweiger isn't the only person troubled by Gamboa's arrest and threatened deportation. Senator Maria Cantwell says his case raises hard questions about how ICE is dealing with some immigrants who have risked their lives as informants and want a shot at staying in America.
Senator MARIA CANTWELL (Democrat, Washington): It's troubling to think that the same agencies of Homeland Security would use someone to tackle crime and bust up drug rings, and then their reward for that is to deport them to possibly a life-or-death situation.
BECKER: ICE maintains around 3,000 informants, according to documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. ICE officials won't comment on specific cases, including Gamboa's. But Alonzo Pena, ICE's head of operations, says his agents protect informants however they can.
Mr. ALONZO PENA (Head of Operations, ICE): We do not view informants as a commodity, just on a practical matter. If we treated people like that, we would never have people wanting to come work for us.
BECKER: Under pressure, ICE released Gamboa after six weeks in detention. But that hasn't removed the threat of deportation.
On a recent winter morning, Gamboa took us to some of the locations where he helped engineer big drug busts. There was a motel just off the interstate, and a parking lot behind a movie theater.
Mr. GAMBOA: We always put the sniper right there.
BECKER: Then we went to Pike Place Market. It's a Seattle landmark and big tourist hub, where young people strum guitars for pocket change and fishmongers chant to shoppers. It's cleaned up a lot since the mid-1990s; that's when Gamboa got his start, helping local cops.
Mr. GAMBOA: Back then, it was tons of people here dealing drugs, and now everything is way, way different. Look more safe. Good, I like that.
BECKER: Gamboa says he's proud of his work in clearing out the drugs dealers. And the cops who directed him, they say he's earned the right to stay here. But they dont like to call him an informant. They say that sounds too much like a gang turncoat trying to stay out of prison.
Gamboa's story is different. He had his brushes with the law. He was convicted of minor drug possession and originally entered the US illegally.
But retired Washington state patrol Detective Tom Padukiewicz says Gamboa volunteered to work with police.
Mr. TOM PADUKIEWICZ (Retired Detective): I felt that he thought he was doing the right thing for the community. I think he felt like he was part of the team, and I think he really liked that. He had that want-to-be-cop personality, and it just gave him a sense purpose.
The cops paid Gamboa for his work - $140,000 over 14 years. But Gamboa says federal agents promised something more valuable: help getting an S-visa. That's a special visa given to a small number of high-value informants.
Jorge Baron is Gamboa's attorney.
Mr. JORGE BARON (Attorney): In terms of what the government said to Ernesto, it is pretty clear that they gave strong indications that they were going to try to help him obtain legal status.
BECKER: This is where Gamboa's supporters say federal agents betrayed him. While agents told Gamboa they were looking into a long-term visa, ICE renewed his temporary permission to be in the U.S. so he could continue working as an informant. That was in 2008. But according to court documents, at the same time, ICE also secretly prepared to deport Gamboa. Fourteen months later, agents arrested him.
Attorney Baron.
Mr. BARON: They kept promising this sort of carrot - that, we're going to try. But they didnt try. The simple fact is that they didnt initiate the process, which they had the ability to do. And they still had the ability to do, even at this late stage - to be able to get him legal status.
BECKER: ICE officials declined to talk about whether Gamboa was ever promised any kind of residency, including an S-visa. Justice Department officials say the S-visa program is limited. Under law, only 200 can be issued to informants like Gamboa each year. The actual number is usually much lower.
Mark Bartlett is the first assistant U.S. attorney in Seattle.
Mr. MARK BARTLETT (First Assistant U.S. Attorney, Seattle): With regard to a sponsoring law-enforcement agency, it isn't just that an agency steps forward and says, I think John Doe would be a good person for this program.
BECKER: But Maria Cantwell says government bureaucracy is hindering the goals of the S-visa program. When she raised her concerns with ICE, Cantwell says she just got the runaround.
Representative MARIA CANTWELL (Democrat, Washington): When it comes to talking about S-visas, it seems to go into the ether...
(Soundbite of laughter)
Representative CANTWELL: ...that it's somebody's, and it's also nobody's, responsibility.
BECKER: So in December, Cantwell took Gamboa's case to the top of the Obama administration in meetings, letters, and in this Senate hearing.
Representative CANTWELL: If we don't help the Gamboas, who have been the informants for us, how are we going to recruit other people to - helping us with finding drug traffickers and criminals?
Even though weve asked a lot of questions and a lot of people are looking at this, the fact that no one is stepping up and taking responsibility means that these people will fall through the cracks. And when they fall through the cracks, it means our system of security will also fall through the cracks.
BECKER: Ernesto Gamboa hasnt slipped through the cracks yet, but he's still in limbo. He's trying to get legal status so he can start a new life in the Pacific Northwest. So far, no law-enforcement agency has stepped forward to support his bid.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Galapagos Ice Organization Immerse Connect Evolve, Forest Park, IL, USA
Galapagos ICE is a very admirable and effective organization in that it not only provides sustainable assistance to the people of Galapagos, but also provides a life-altering experience to the volunteers. I volunteered primarily as an English teacher for ICE in 2007 for 3 months, in Santa Rosa and in Puerto Ayora.
It was in Santa Rosa that I observed ICE volunteers engage with an entire town, making dramatic improvements to the school, and teaching practical English language skills to grades 1-7. As I assisted in new volunteer orientation throughout the later part of my stay, I observed how carefully, the founder and executive director, Emily Pozo, selects and places volunteers. The accommodations she secured for each volunteer (including my own) were safe, comfortable and provided a very accurate taste of what life is like for the average Galapageano. It was an awesome experience. Because of the networking abilities of the director, I was able to have lunch in a different student's home every day. Obviously, I gained a significant exposure to a new, exciting culture and I am certain that I was able to teach Ecuadorians new ideas about "gringos."
I count this as one of the best experiences of my life. Where else could I have gone to teach English and be able to go pig hunting, cattle herding, cliff-diving, and birdwatching? I hope this organization grows exponentially because the work it does is fantastic.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
...observing the English speaking abilities of the community grow and improve. I also experienced the results of this organization when I realized how much these small, isolated communities can learn about the world around it through international volunteerism. Furthermore, through education programs, local students gained a new appreciation for their environment, when volunteers taught them how unique their home is.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
make more frequent updates on the website regarding ongoing projects. Little can be improved on beyond that.

What are we looking for?
Black-sheep stocks.
A strong consensus bearish opinion is reason enough for some investors to go bullish. And for successful contrarian investors, the first step is to identify stocks that have run afoul of the Street.
So we went searching for stocks ill-regarded by the analyst community.
How did we do it?
We first established some criteria to identify stocks that are dramatically out of favour. The consensus recommendation calculated by Bloomberg rates stocks on a five-point scale, which assigns lower numbers to stocks lacking popular support. We filtered out all stocks that had a score higher than 3.
We also chose to avoid stocks with too little coverage, as their scores might be skewed by a handful of strong opinions. So, eligible stocks had to have at least 10 analysts issuing recommendations. And at least three of those analysts had to have "sell" ratings on the stock.
Now with a pool of contrarian candidates, we set some conditions for size, profitability and valuation.
A minimum market capitalization of $500-million, in local currency, was applied. The average return on equity over the past five years had to be at least 12 per cent.
And we capped the estimated price-to-earnings ratio for the current year at 17, which is roughly the average multiple at which both the S&P 500 index and the S&P/TSX composite index trade.
What did we find?
A total of 21 stocks met all of the conditions. Only three Canadian names made the list. Canadian Oil Sands Ltd. has disappointed analysts with a string of operational issues. Imperial Oil Ltd., meanwhile, has not met production forecasts at its Kearl oil sands facility.
The only non-resource Canadian name on the list is National Bank of Canada, which is facing concerns about its wealth-management business.
This list may provide a good starting point to identify outcast stocks, but further research would be required to determine whether the Street is wrong about any of them.
Contrarian candidates

ARLINGTON, Va. — A man carrying a backpack containing what authorities said were suspicious materials briefly fled police Friday before he was detained in the middle of the night near the Pentagon.
The man was discovered inside Arlington National Cemetery after 1 a.m., several hours after the cemetery had closed, and was taken into custody after being uncooperative. He was in custody but has not been charged with anything. Authorities believe he acted alone and no one else was with him.

Skate park closed
The White Rock Skate Park will be undergoing maintenance repairs and minor renovations by the Parks Division and will be closed June 14 through the expected completion date of June 23.
Proponents of requiring voter approval for certain capital projects in Los Alamos obviously hoped that New Mexico Attorney General Gary King rendered the last word when he concluded that such an action would be legal.
But after lively debate at a council work session Tuesday night, it seems that "only just beginning" might better summarize the situation.
Assistant County Attorney Brian James said, "The Attorney General's ruling was step one of a ten step journey. The question is, how do you get the rest of the way to a capital improvement project referendum that will stand up under legal challenge?"
Trinity Nuclear Abolition (TNA) is set to hold an extended prayer vigil this weekend at Los Alamos National Laboratory and around Ashley Pond.
Beginning at noon Sunday and ending at noon Monday, the group will gather to pray in front of the laboratory at the corner of West Jemez Road and Diamond Drive.
"This Father's Day prayer vigil is concurrent with Holy Trinity Sunday," TNA spokesman Marcus Page said. "We expect eight or nine members Sunday and about 15 members Monday and Donna Martinez has assured us that LANL will not disturb our peaceful vigil."
ALBUQUERQUE – Governor Susana Martinez kicked off the 'W82TXT' campaign, which seeks to discourage New Mexicans from texting while driving Thursday.
The public awareness campaign, sponsored by 2KASA Fox and sister station KRQE News 13 in partnership with the Office of the Governor and the New Mexico Department of Public Transportation, is a statewide grassroots effort that asks New Mexicans to take a pledge against distracted driving.
"This campaign is an important reminder that texting while driving can have devastating consequences," Martinez said.
Talks aimed at heading off hospital strike
SANTA FE — Talks aimed at preventing a strike at Santa Fe's Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center did not lead to a contract extension between the hospital and a labor union.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports a contract extension would allow manager's at Santa Fe's only general hospital and the union more time to hammer out an agreement before it expires at the end of June.
Union representatives say one major sticking point is the hospital's reluctance to agree to contract provisions designed to hold the hospital accountable for maintaining certain staffing levels.
It was a busy Friday morning at the Los Alamos Airport as trucks were queued up along the runway.
BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian security forces fired on thousands of protesters Friday, killing a teenage boy and at least 15 other civilians as accounts emerged of more indiscriminate killing and summary executions by the autocratic regime of President Bashar Assad, activists said.
The three-month uprising has proved stunningly resilient despite a relentless crackdown by the military, the pervasive security forces and pro-regime gunmen. Human rights activists say more than 1,400 Syrians have been killed and 10,000 detained as Assad desperately tries to maintain his grip on power.

I'm noticing this more and more in job postings. People want me to be proficient or expert or skilled in a long list of design apps, and usually at the top of the list is Quark and InDesign. I've used InDesign for years. I've had formal schooling on it. I know lots about it. I've never been exposed to Quark aside from reading about it. My question is: what am I missing exactly (by not being familiar with Quark)? Would I be limited to using which ever was available any given day, as opposed to just using the one of my choice? Should I be expected to use both because of the limitations of either? Is there interoperability between the two that I don't know about? I'm not looking to revive the battle between the two products to determine which is best, but rather could you please help me understand why so many potential employers are saying one and the other; not one or the other?
Quark and InDesign
Primary tabs
Hey there. By way of full disclosure, I've used QuarkXPress for a long time, and it is only in the last two to three years that I have had to learn and use Adobe InDesign at work.
Now on to your question: my experience is that you will encounter different situations at every workplace. For example, my current employer recently switched over completely to InDesign, but there is still the odd old job, done in XPress, that we have to pick up and re-purpose, so it's good to know both programs.
My previous employers, on the other hand, favored QuarkXPress, and even then the younger art directors would comp their stuff in InDesign rather than XPress, so it made sense to know both programs. You never knew which one you would be using on a given day, or for a given job.
What it boils down to, for me, is that XPress and InDesign are the best, and most-used, layout programs out there, and it pays to be familiar with both of them -- it makes you more valuable to potential employers. That's a good enough reason for me.
I am going to avoid comparing pros and cons of the two programs, because some employers may have the latest version of InDesign but an older version of XPress, or viceversa. If you're lucky, they will have upgraded to the latest version of each.
Hoping this sheds some light,
I second what Ricardo said. You will be more well-rounded and employable if you are at least proficient in both programs. I was trained in Quark back around 1990, when it was really the only game in town (far superior to Pagemaker) and have used InDesign for 2 or 3 years now. A lot of my clients still either prefer Quark or use it exclusively - it's still the lingua franca in book publishing. There is much to recommend about both programs. I'm not going to compare them, just to recommend you verse yourself in Quark.
i think what drives the need for both (quark and indesign) is what has already been mentioned... that you might be asked to revive a past project that originated in either and you will need to be savvy in both to be able to work on the document.
(furthermore) publishing firms, printers, or other given service bureaus might require that files be delivered in one format or the other. so whether you are working "in-house" or for a creative firm, requirements for a print job are sometimes dictated to you by the printer.
(lastly) if you are working for a creative firm, their clients sometimes dictate which application they want used. and if they love one versus the other... that is the one they are going to want ALL their documents/projects built in. and if the file changes hands back to the client, they will want to be able to open the document for future use, edits, etc.
hope that shed some light...
I don't know how the latest version of Quark compares to earlier ones (and I mean real early, like v.3.3), but if it is as user friendly as I remember it, it should be a snap to pick it up.

It is starting to become a trend for Nigerian Grooms to cry!
Yesterday, photos from Nollywood actor Seun Akindele's marriage surfaced on social media and surprisingly, the hunk had cried on his big day, a heartwarming scene akin to what we see in Hollywood films.
For many Nigerians commenting under Akindele's photos, it's strange that a man would break down on his wedding day; that emotional display had been assumed to be the female's sole preserve, hence why such a show from a man is approached with heavy speculation.
"Crying for what??" Instagram user Fehintola asked, noting, "I guess for how much he spent on the wedding that would make a 9JA groom cry.(sic)" While another commenter, Sheandrah added, "Hez prolly lyk 'mummy im nt evn ready fr dis marriage.(sic)"
Now see photos of these eight other crying Nigerian grooms below:

when you bite some big stuff to eat, you find that your chin is nearly off the hook of your skull
does it happen to you?
when you bite some big stuff to eat, you find that your chin is nearly off the hook of your skull
does it happen to you?
Is this like how I sometimes nearly break my jaw while yawning?
Now THIS is a nonsense topic I can really get behind! Not really.
Temporomandibular joint disorder claims the lives of literally fractions of people every year.
now that you mentioned it... I will pay particular attention to that! if it does happen I will be back here!
"Signs and symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder vary in their presentation and can be very complex, but are often simple. On average the symptoms will involve more than one of the numerous TMJ components: muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, bones, connective tissue, and the teeth.[4] Ear pain associated with the swelling of proximal tissue is a symptom of temporomandibular joint disorder.
Symptoms associated with TMJ disorders may be:
Biting or chewing difficulty or discomfort
Clicking, popping, or grating sound when opening or closing the mouth
Dull, aching pain in the face
Jaw pain or tenderness of the jaw
Reduced ability to open or close the mouth
Neck and shoulder pain"
It is a real disease, just like my restless leg syndrome!
By the way, the cure for restless leg syndrome is sex or exercise, not those pills that they market.
"By the way, the cure for restless leg syndrome is sex..."
That's my new line.
"Oh hey girl. You know, your leg lookin' awful twitchy about now..."

** Exciting News!!!**
We bought a new house!
It's official, we bought a new house! We closed and are now ready to put our touch on it before moving in within a month. This is my first house of my own, that I picked out, and that I dream of… I really couldn't be more excited… It's becoming hard to contain myself.
It is tradition for my fiance, Dave, and I to name our things. We have a car called "sherbert" and now we've named our house "The Pineapple House".
The pineapple has been a symbol of hospitality since the days of the early American colonies. The legend began with the sea captains of New England, who sailed among the Caribbean Islands and returned to the colonies bearing their cargo of fruits, spices and rum.
According to the legend, the captain would spear a pineapple on a fence post outside his home to let his friends know of his safe return from sea. The pineapple was an invitation for them to visit, share his food and drink, and listen to tales of his voyage.
As the tradition grew, colonial innkeepers added the pineapple to their signs and advertisements, and bedposts carved in the shape of a pineapple were a common sight at inns across New England.
It is a 3/2 home in NE Florida, with an in the ground pool and hot tub, and enormous yard. There is also a work shed on the property, we are calling it "Pineapple Express". The home has a pineapple door knocker and other pineapple details on the interior, but when we first saw the property, we knew we could turn this into our own tropical paradise. Step one on the transformation: we are painting it yellow and changing the door to green.
You know what a new house means for a blogger like myself… an endless supply of of new DIY projects, crafting, decor, colors and entertaining. As I decorate the house I will start posting home tour photos and hopefully a load of tutorials to go with them. I am so excited and READY for this great adventure!
Sooo, without further ado…

More Racers Switch To E85 Fuel With New Bolt-On Carburetors
10/30/2013 < Back to Blog Home
Many sportsman racers are discovering the advantages of using E85 Ethanol fuel over standard gasoline and race gas. Aside from the fact that E85 fuel has a higher octane rating than pump-gas, 105 in most formulas, it's about 20-40 cents less than 91 octane unleaded fuel, and considerably less expensive than 100 octane or 114 octane racing fuels. Depending on its availability, the additional benefits of a cleaner combustion and additional power created from the fuel's improved oxygenation properties, are making E85 the popular fuel of choice for use in full-race and dual purpose street-strip cars.

2013 MLB All-Star Game: 10 Biggest SnubsJuly 7, 2013
2013 MLB All-Star Game: 10 Biggest Snubs
Saturday evening, the first 33 men on each of the All-Star rosters were announced via Twitter (the 34th man will be decided by fan vote in the coming days, with the AL vote contested solely among middle relievers).
Some selections made sense, but a few selections, like Justin Verlander and Marco Scutaro, had us scratching our heads. Likewise, there were a few glaring omissions.
Here are five National League players and five American League Players who should have received more consideration than they ultimately did.
Listed alphabetically. WAR and most other stats courtesy of ESPN, some other stats courtesy of YahooSports.
Grant Balfour, RP, Oakland A's
2013 Stats: 34.2 IP, 0-1, 22 SV, 9.1 K/9, 1.82 ERA, 1.10 WHIP
With the 34th man guaranteed to be a pitcher, the AL probably has all the arms it needs. But, for having the third-best record in the AL, the A's are relatively underrepresented with only a single All-Star.
Balfour is tied for fourth in the AL in saves and has the third-best ERA of any pitcher with 20 or more saves. Balfour has a better ERA and more saves than Glen Perkins.
Ian Desmond, SS, Washington Nationals
2013 Stats: 40 R, 15 HR, 49 RBI, 10 SB, .284 BA, .832 OPS, 2.7 WAR
True, Desmond is facing off for the NL 34th-man vote and could also be selected as an injury replacement. But he should have been selected outright, especially since NL manager Bruce Bochy's homer Marco Scutaro was selected instead.
Desmond has more doubles or RBI than any other active NL shortstop and has a better WAR, batting average, hits, homers or OPS than an NL shortstop who has a guaranteed berth in the Midsummer Classic.
Josh Donaldson, 3B, Oakland A's
2013 Stats: 48 R, 15 HR, 57 RBI, 2 SB, .317 BA, .918 OPS, 3.8 WAR
Again with the A's we thought would make it and didn't! Although, to be fair, AL third base was quite deep this year, with five legitimate contenders.
Donaldson has the third-best WAR among AL third basemen, ahead of Adrian Beltre and Evan Longoria. He has a better OPS and more runs driven in than Manny Machado against fewer strikeouts.
James Loney, 1B, Tampa Bay Rays
2013 Stats: 37 R, 9 HR, 43 RBI, 3 SB, .320 BA, .851 OPS, 2.0 WAR
I know fans love to watch Prince Fielder blast homers But the fact is that Loney, playing on his third team since this time last year, has posted better all-around numbers.
Loney has the fourth-best batting average among all AL batters and bests Prince Fielder in WAR, OPS and hits, the last despite Fielder having the benefit of three dozen more at-bats.
And compare him to utility man to Ben Zobrist? There is no comparison!
Mark Melancon, RP, Pittsburgh Pirates
2013 Stats: 41.1 IP, 2-1, 2 SV, 24 HLD, 9.6 K/9, 0.87 ERA, 0.82 WHIP
Last season, the Pirates had a lights-out setup man named Jason Grilli who was snubbed by the Midsummer Classic. This season, Grilli's an All-Star closer and it's Melancon's turn to get snubbed.
Melancon has more holds than anyone in baseball. He's the only NL pitcher with more than 30 frames under his belt with a sub-1.00 ERA. Only one player has gone yard on Melancon this season.
We know that the AL is guaranteed to have a setup man. The NL is not, and it should be—and that person should be Melancon.
Edward Mujica, RP, St. Louis Cardinals
2013 Stats: 35.1 IP, 0-1, 22 SV, 4 HLD, 8.2 K/9, 2.55 ERA, 0.79 WHIP
To be frank, the Cardinals are going to pretty well represented in Queens later this month. But, since it's their pitching that got them one of the best records in baseball, they should have another pitcher in addition to Adam Wainwright.
Mujica has the best WHIP in the NL among relievers who've pitched more than 30 innings. That's because he doesn't give up walks: His strikeout-to-walk ratio is 16.
Mujica is fourth in the NL in saves. One of those with more saves than he, Rafael Soriano, has fewer strikeouts and more blown saves than Mujica, who's only blown a single save all season.
Daniel Nava, OF, Boston Red Sox
2013 Stats: 49 R, 10 HR, 50 RBI, 0 SB, .295 BA, .832 OPS, 1.8 WAR
The Boston Red Sox have one of the better outfields in the AL, with Nava, Jacoby Ellsbury and Shane Victorino all cracking the top 15 in WAR . So why didn't any of their outfielders get a nod, or even make the final vote?
Nava has the fifth-best OPS, fifth-best batting average and seventh-best RBI total among AL outfielders.
Yasiel Puig, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers
2013 Stats: 24 R, 8 HR, 19 RBI, 4 SB, .407 BA, 1.188 OPS, 2.4 WAR
Yes, Yasiel Puig has only played in 30 games. He has more hits in his first 30 games than anybody since before World War II. His batting average and OPS are absolutely unworldly.
I made a three-part prediction regarding Puig among my friends. The first part, that Puig would be included in the final vote, came true. The rest of the prediction: He will win the fan vote, but Bruce Bochy will still not use him in the actual game.
Hyun-Jin Ryu, SP, Los Angeles Dodgers
2013 Stats: 111.2 IP, 7-3, 14 QS, 90 K, 2.82 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, 2.6 WAR
The Dodgers had two high-profile international signings make debuts for them this season. Though Puig has been getting all the press, Ryu also deserves consideration, particularly when Madison Bumgarner made the team.
Ryu is in the top 20 among NL stars in many pitching-related stats, including ERA (2.82, 13th), quality starts (14, ted for fourth), wins (seven, tied for 16th), win percentage (70 percent, ninth), strikeouts (90, Tied for 19th), and double plays created (16, Tied for third).
Ervin Santana, SP, Kansas City Royals
2013 Stats: 118.0 IP, 5-5, 12 QS, 94 K, 2.90 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 2.1 WAR
The NL rotation makes general sense. On the other hand, AL manager Jim Leyland decided to give the struggling Justin Verlander a lifetime achievement award at the expense of more deserving players, such as the Royals' Santana.
Santana is in the top 10 among the AL in a number of categories, including WHIP (1.05, tied for fourth) ERA (2.90, fifth), quality starts (12, tied for sixth) and OPS conceded (.644, eighth).

Hap and Leonard: Mucho Mojo Recap: Episode 1 (Mucho Mojo)
A man dumps a boy's body into a lake. One year later, a man fishes out the boy's skeleton.
Hap retrieves Trudy Fawst's ashes from a crematorium. He expresses his sadness with Fernie at work.
At Uncle Chester's house, where Leonard now lives, Leonard sees his neighbor, Melton, urinating on his rose bush. He punches Melton and urinates on him. MeMaw, the neighborhood matriarch, laughs at the scuffle from her porch.
Back inside, a floorboard buckles under Leonard's weight. Leonard peers through the hole in the floor and discovers the boy's skeleton.
Leonard calls Hap over to his house and shows him the body. They crawl under the house to investigate. Leonard picks up the boy's red sneaker and sees the letters "B.B." written in marker. Hap urges Leonard to report the dead body to police. Leonard refuses.
A boy named Ivan breaks into Hap's car and steals Trudy's ashes. Hap chases Ivan through the neighborhood. Ivan tosses the box into a passing garbage truck. Leonard chases the garbage truck down and retrieves the ashes.
Officer Sneed nabs Ivan but Hap decides to let Ivan go. Leonard reluctantly tells Sneed about the dead body.
That night, police swarm Leonard's house and remove the body. Hap and Leonard watch the police activity from MeMaw's porch across the street. Sheriff Valentine Otis arrives on the scene and speaks with Detective Charlie Blank. Detective Blank asks Hap and Leonard to come to the station.
Down the street, a man watches watches from a van then drives to a remote shack. Inside are newspaper clippings of missing kids, including that of a 12-year-old boy.
Sheriff Valentine watches as police photograph the body at the station.
Detective Marvin Hanson interrogates Leonard about Uncle Chester while Detective Blank questions Hap in a separate room. Detective Hanson tells Leonard that Chester came to the station more than once to talk about missing kids and possibly a child murder. He says Chester talked about solving the mystery with his "associate."
Hap and Leonard ask Detective Blank and Detective Hanson about the boy's shoes. The detectives tell them that police did not find shoes at the crime scene and that the body did not have any feet. Leonard's lawyer, Florida Grange, arrives. Hap is immediately interested in her.
Hap, Leonard and Florida order food at a restaurant. Florida tells Leonard that the cops will probably pin the murder on Uncle Chester and leave Leonard alone, as long as Leonard stays out of trouble.
Hap and Leonard spend the night at MeMaw's house. They meet her grandson, TJ. Leonard vows to find out if Uncle Chester is innocent.
Leonard and Hap eat breakfast with MeMaw and her other grandson, Reverend James Fitzgerald, a pastor. Leonard and Rev. Fitzgerald have a tense discussion about homosexuality in the Bible.
Leonard returns home and finds Ivan staggering down his stairs. Ivan collapses.
At the hospital, Leonard's romantic partner Raul tells Leonard that Ivan overdosed. He asks Leonard to pretend to be Ivan's uncle in order to keep Ivan out of the system until his family is located.
Detective Blank visits Hap at work and asks for a description of the boy's sneakers.
Hap stands on a bridge with Trudy's ashes. A bird attacks him, causing him to drop the box in the river below. He jumps into the river and retrieves the box, then spreads the ashes in the water.
Hap returns to his car and sees a campaign sign for Beau Otis, who is running a re-election campaign for county judge.
At home, Leonard lays Ivan in a bed and removes his shoes. He sees "Ivan" written inside the shoes in marker.
Police arrest Leonard at his house and lead him away. The same man from earlier watches from a van parked down the street.

PubCon Las Vegas 2013 Keynote Summary: Google Smackdown, Branding Revisited, and How Marketing Changes When Machines Understand Conversations
PubCon Las Vegas is behind us, but unless you've been hiding under a rock this past week, you're probably still feeling the aftershocks. There were, of course, some great observations: Google starting to understand "conversations," Joshie the stuffed toy as a model for creating great branding, social being a key component to CRO, and a host of other insights.
Still, PubCon 2013 might be remembered for something else - it will probably go down in history as the Jason Calacanis and Matt Cutts show.
A Tale of Two Keynotes: Jason vs. Matt
.@mattcutts the best strategy might be an apology, admission you haven't been a great partner & some ideas on how @google could be better.— jason (@Jason) October 22, 2013
It all started with Jason Calacanis's keynote - he discussed where media is now, and touched on Google's footprint in an array of industries. He noted the changes in TV, radio, digital, and publishing ad spend, and throughout the talk, he indicated that Google is winning key battles that will enable them to grow - but he notes that they are not a good partner for growing your business.
Matt Cutts of Google, of course, was slated to give the day 2 keynote - which led to reactions like this:
@Jason @mattcutts This should be good :)— Bruce Cat (@brucecat) October 22, 2013
@mattcutts @Jason I got fistfuls of popcorn over here. [No metatags or hidden text. Just popcorn.]— Chris Sacca (@sacca) October 22, 2013
Jason Calacanis's Keynote: the State of the Media
Jason began his talk by noting that 2012 digital ad revenue was higher than those for magazines, radio, or newspapers, but still just half of TV ad revenue.
TV, Radio, and Film
He expects digital to eventually bite into more of the TV revenue - live television lost 25% of the audience to streaming and recorded between 2009 and 2013, and Internet TV is becoming cheaper (Apple TV at $300 upon launch, $99 a while later, and now, the Chromestick at $35). Google Fiber is expanding, and he notes that the disruption is likely to continue.
Radio is changing, with Pandora as the most popular channel now, and it's mostly used on cars, buses, trains, and at home. As for film, DVD sales will continue to drop, but videostreaming offers hope.
Publishing, Magazines, and Newspapers
Jason observes that eBooks now account for 23% of book sales, and they are likely to outpace hardcovers in the next 5 years. As for magazines, they are selling half as many ads, and the industry is reeling. The major newspapers have made the adjustments for digital: the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal both have plenty of online subscribers. Jason also notes that moves like Jeff Bezos of Amazon buying the Washington Post means journalism is in capable hands.
In 2013, search still leads the charge for ad spend:
- Search: 46%,
- Display/banner: 21%,
- Classifieds: 7%,
- Mobile: 9%
Jason notes that some publishers now see Google as the enemy. Google is competing for the same revenue with some of their partners, and they are not a good partner.
The hashtag for the next 10 years: #googlewinseverything— jason (@Jason) October 22, 2013
Matt Cutts's Keynote: State of the Index
Smackdown or no smackdown, Matt Cutts is a superb speaker, and he begins his keynote by talking about some of the big changes within Google, like delivering information before a search is made, algorithms understanding basic conversation language, and the company finding deeper insights about the relationships between things.
Try this: ask Google via your phone what the weather in your area will be like. Once Google presents you weather data, ask it again: "what about on Sunday?" The search engine will understand that you're still talking about the weather, and will present you with updated results accordingly. Matt and the rest of the team at Google consider this, "Conversational Search," one of the moonshots that the company is working on - big things that change the game, rather than incremental improvements. (Sidenote: at the beginning of the year, Wired had an interview with Larry Page, CEO of Google, specifically on moonshots, and it's well worth the read.)
Matt also talked about some of the other moonshots they are working on:
- Knowledge Graph and Deep Learning- the company is understanding the relationships between words, treating words as "things" rather than "strings," so connections can be made between them to improve search.
- Google Now - Google is attempting to bring users relevant information before a search is made, like indicating that you have to leave to make an appointment if they have your calendar information.
Algorithm Changes and Web Spam
After covering the broad strokes, Matt tackled the algorithm changes:
- Hummingbird - an engine replacement that "understands" which words are not as important. Matt's gives an example: if you ask Google, "what is the capital of Texas, my dear," it will know that "my dear" is not as important.
- Panda Softening - letting the "grey" areas recover some of their ranking from the content quality algorithm change
- Detecting and Boosting Authorities - letting the search engine "recognize" who the experts in the fields are, so that if people are likely to recognize the experts in real life, Google will also reflect this in the results
- Smartphone Ranking - search reflecting results that tie into things like device properties, so if your phone can't display Flash, sites that have Flash are less likely to rank
Matt also covered some of the recent changes to web spam – how when they released Penguin 2.0, spammers laughed it off, and Google basically "turned the knob higher." They also started penalizing sites that pass link equity through advertisements, and are taking more action on spam networks.
"When spammers are threatening me bodily harm, my team is doing their job." @mattcutts #pubcon— Jennifer Slegg (@jenstar) October 23, 2013
The Future of Search and Tips to Prepare
Going back to the broad stuff, Matt covered the three big things that Google's looking at:
1. Machine Learning - Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible, and that doesn't include the words "search engine." They are using machine learning to add more value for users, like to tell whether it's going to rain in your area.
2. Mobile - Smart phone traffic is growing at a tremendous rate. Matt cites YouTube as an example:
a. In 2011 6% of YouTube traffic was mobile
b. In 2012, that shot up to 25%
c. In 2013, 40% of YouTube use is from mobile phones
3. Social Identity and Authorship - Google doesn't necessarily boost rankings if you have a lot of likes, retweets, or +1s, but long term, having good social signals is a reflection of authority. Since social is "mirroring" the fact that you are someone worth listening to, search engines will listen to this as well.
If you're looking for tactical tips:
- Get ready for mobile - think about m., responsive web design, remove Flash, and otherwise prepare
- Prepare to markup your forms with requestAutocomplete() for one-click fill outs, and remove the friction
- Ad heavy pages - increased penalties coming, so improve the user experience for your site
- Authorship - Google's reducing the number of authors shown by 15% to improve quality
- Rich snippets - this will now depend on the quality of the web site
- Javascript - common JavaScript can now be read by Google better
Is Google a Good Partner?
Matt asked the crowd whether to get into the comments that Jason made, and - as you could probably guess - the crowd wanted to get into it. Matt began by saying that he has a ton of respect for Jason, and he proceeded to talk about the "Google as a partner" context. Part of Jason's issue with Google was how they rolled out Panda, Google's algorithm against content farms, and how the change really hurt sites like Mahalo, Jason's company.
Matt explained that Panda couldn't have rolled out slowly, as Jason suggests, and that content farms were a serious issue for Google back in the day.
#pubcon audience wants a fight between @jason and @mattcutts :) so Matt responds with some hilarious spam examples pic.twitter.com/DEh6ESm95P— Promodo Company (@promodo_en) October 23, 2013
He met with Jason a few years back to discuss the issue, but the two ultimately ended up at an impasse. Ultimately, the algorithm found that in aggregate, Mahalo was not a quality site.
Scott Stratten's Keynote: Unmarketing
Day 3's keynote carried none of the controversy from the first two, but was every bit as entertaining.
Great read about @unmarketing at #pubcon- http://t.co/HjAyn7ZhL3 .Authenticity+immediacy are both important & @RitzCarlton story-priceless!— Maria Elena Duron (@mariaduron) October 26, 2013
Scott talked about the Ritz Carlton's two brand stories. The first is what the brand team does - which way the lion in the logo is facing, and other marketing and brand team calls. The second is Joshie, a stuffed giraffe a guest family left behind.
The toy was left behind at the Ritz, and the kid who owned it started panicking. To keep things from getting worse, the dad told him that Joshie was on extended vacation, and he called the hotel to ask if they had spotted the toy.
What happened next is now documented very well, and still a great example of customer service. The staff of the Ritz Carlton hotel took photos of the toy as he was taking a vacation - sitting by the pool, getting a spa, making friends with other toys - and sent the photos along with Joshie to the family.
That's what Scott notes is a brand experience: exceptional customer service. Every email, every tweet or unanswered phone call, every employee interaction, good or bad, is part of marketing.
He notes that there are two things people remember about a company: the last interaction with the brand, and their most extreme, good or bad. Likewise, he talks about the things that make social work: being worth talking about, responding immediately, and being authentic.
The other big thing Scott talked about is how technology gets applied by marketers. He cites QR codes as a common example of what gets used the wrong way - QR codes on billboards when people aren't even supposed to actively use their phone while driving, QR codes on emails when links should really be used, QR codes on pet tags instead of phone numbers.
Takeaways from Pubcon: Preparing for 2014
As we all get ready to close out the year, there are a few things Pubcon makes clearer for marketers.
1. If your business model is dependent on Google staying largely the same, now is a serious time to review it. Keywords (not provided) is only the beginning - as Google gets more and more into machine learning, and it's going to get even better at providing answers, sometimes right there on the results page. If you want to perform well, you better be answering questions that algorithms cannot answer.
2. If Google is your only means of acquiring visitors, it's time for a change. Diversify, get visitors from other channels, and maintain relationships with existing prospects and customers via email and social.
3. The marketing team isn't responsible for the brand. Everyone at the company is responsible for the brand.
4. The mobile numbers for YouTube may not be in line with what you're seeing, but if you don't have a plan yet and a budget for mobile yet, you better start rethinking that.
5. Algorithms are getting better at "mirroring" real world popularity and authority. If you don't have authorship tags set up yet, start setting those up. If you do, it's time to double-down on your niche, so you get recognized as an expert. And as Scott notes, if you want word of mouth, do stuff worth talking about.
PubCon 2014 has big shoes to fill – game on.

Padmadarshini - I have long been interested in exploring and working with the body. Since being a teenager coming into my body through movement has been a way of resourcing myself.
I have taught yoga at Bodywise in Manchester for many years now. During this time both my personal practice and approach to teaching have changed and evolved ongoingly. It has been important to me to see the practice as a process of enquiry, exploration and creativity. This has drawn me to study with various teachers over the years and I am particularly grateful to Sarah Powers and Donna Farhi for the rich teachings I have received from them.
More recently I have been exploring somatic based practices: I am in my 3rd year of studies with the Institute for Integrative Bodywork and Movement Therapy. As part of this I am enjoying exploring the rich practice of Authentic Movement. I am interested in discovering how the body can be a 'doorway' into listening to ourselves and can help us find a deeper, more open, easeful relationship to our experience. We could say that the body holds our life story and I am curious about how we can access the images and messages in the body that we need to creatively unfold our story both personally and collectively
