IT IS said that nothing happened at Balmain without the consultation of Kevin Humphreys. And now, nothing will happen at Wests Tigers without the word of his son, Stephen, who will be the new chief executive of the merged club.
As one club loses its chief executive in disgrace, another has found a candidate that oozes nostalgia. Stephen Humphreys, a former Balmain player turned successful businessman, has beaten a field that included English football bosses as well as the former state Liberal Party leader, John Brogden, for the position.
Stephen played fullback for the Tigers, but after retirement was hugely successful in the airline industry. He worked for British Airways but most recently has been the managing director of tourism company the Stella Group in New Zealand. Humphreys has commuted to Auckland every Sunday, returning to Sydney on Fridays, to hold that position.
"I would think there's two things bringing him back. One is his family. The other is the club that his family loves," a family friend said last night. "To think he's following his father's footsteps is bloody marvellous."
His father, Kevin, is one of the game's most revered administrators, at Balmain as well as the NSWRL, although he was forced to resign as head of the latter after the airing of corruption allegations involving the former NSW premier Neville Wran on the Four Corners program in 1983. In its bitter aftermath, the late Murray Farquhar became the first Australian magistrate to be convicted and sentenced in a criminal court after being found guilty of attempting to pervert the course of justice and sentenced to four years' jail for attempting to influence magistrate Kevin Jones to discharge Humphreys in committal proceedings in 1977.
The Four Corners story, by Chris Masters, also provided an expose of Humphreys's gambling debts to the Balmain Leagues Club.
Kevin Humphreys remains a life member of the club, and was visionary enough during his time as an official of the game to be the instigator, along with the late Queensland senator Ron McAuliffe, of the State of Origin series. Humphreys also spoke emotionally at the vote that led to the merger of Balmain and Western Suburbs.
His son will lead the Tigers in less turbulent times, however the club has had little success on the field since their premiership win in 2005.
The Tigers hired a headhunting firm to seek candidates for the position vacated by Scott Longmuir in April after a bitter spat with staff members, including coach Tim Sheens, and senior players including halfback Benji Marshall. Humphreys will inherit some factionalism within the club from the Balmain and Wests sides of the merger, the best example of which came with the club employing acting chief executives after Longmuir quit.
Humphreys will take over from Tim Camiller, the boss of Balmain Leagues Club, and Andy Timbs, general manager of the Western Suburbs Leagues Club in Ashfield.
Humphreys, though, also has support from those who bleed black and white rather than black and gold, bringing both brain and rugby league brawn to the position.
While the Tigers had been prepared to look well outside rugby league, their best candidate was one of their own, a gutsy fullback with one of the game's most famous surnames.
The appointment of Humphreys is expected to be confirmed in the next 48 hours. He has beaten executives with the Coventry City and Fulham football clubs in Britain, as well as Brogden, who resigned from the leadership of the state Liberal Party in 2005.
There were also suggestions of interest from Manly chief executive Grant Mayer as well as the former Sydney FC boss George Perry.
Humphreys impressed many influential league characters, including former Tiger Keith Barnes and Immortal John Raper, at a lunch hosted by John Singleton for his ailing father earlier this year.
It will be a welcome boost for Kevin, who remains in a Drummoyne nursing facility after suffering two strokes, as well as his wife Joan, who cares for him religiously each day.

Zarathustra is immensely in love with man. He is no enemy; he is a friend. He hates the present state because he knows you can go far away, you can reach high peaks. This is not what you are meant for. His hate towards the present mankind is because of his deep love for your future, for the distant goal of the superman. He is absolutely against inhuman values. All the religions expect you to follow inhuman values.
If you look into the religious scriptures of all the religions you will be surprised: what they are asking you to do is so unnatural that you cannot fulfill it. Certainly their purpose of asking is something that you are not aware of. They also know you cannot fulfill the demands that they are making on you. But then why they are making those demands? Their hidden purpose is to make you feel guilty. And the only way to make you feel guilty is to ask something unnatural, which you cannot do, whatever way you try. You are going to fail.
I have heard:
A man was purchasing in a toyshop a few toys for his children. The salesman brought something out, and he said, "This is the very latest device in the world of toys. It is a jigsaw puzzle." The man was a professor of mathematics, so he became immediately interested in it. He tried it this way and that way and he tried it in many ways and the ultimate result was always failure. He said to the salesman, "I am a professor of mathematics and I cannot figure it out. How do you expect small children to succeed in solving the puzzle?"
The salesman laughed. He said, "It is not made to be solved. It represents man's actual situation. Whatever you do, it doesn't matter what, the puzzle cannot be solved. It is a very modern, a very contemporary understanding of humanity."
All the religions have been giving you puzzles, which are basically and intrinsically insoluble. And their purpose is to make you feel guilty, failures, frustrated, miserable, unsuccessful, unworthy, undeserving. They want to destroy your pride, your dignity, because the more your pride and your dignity is destroyed, the more you will be just like the camel - kneeling down and ready to be loaded. You will understand yourself that this is your fate: to be a camel; you are not a lion and there is no point in pretending to be a lion.
You are born to be a slave - that's the whole strategy of all the religions, all the political ideologies. They have a single intention: to make every human being feel that he is born to be a slave, to be a worshiper of a fictitious God, to kneel down and to pray.
The moment you accept yourself to be guilty, undeserving, unworthy, you lose self-respect; you lose love for yourself. And if you cannot love yourself, how can you expect anybody else to love you? It is almost always a shock when somebody says to you, "I love you." You cannot believe it. Nobody believes it, for the simple reason that, "I cannot love myself and this poor fellow is saying he loves me. That means only one thing: he does not know me! Once he knows me all love will disappear."

International Conference on Semantic E-Business and Enterprise Computing
The 2nd
International Conference on 'Semantic E-business and enterprise computing'
in Tamilnadu, India, will create an international
forum for the evolving field of semantic E-business and enterprise
With the increased size and complexity of e-business applications and
products, e-business products are often no longer produced or created by an
individual or even a single entrepreneur. Instead, e-business applications
and products are now commonly produced by different developers using
diverse practices. Therefore the meaning of those
applications in e-business are contributed by the organisations and
the individuals who are participating in e-business. In order to apply more
and more meaning to e-business and enterprise computing and thereby
minimising the complexity of e-business and enterprise computing, it is
beneficial for those working in the field to standardize e- business
applications. By developing e-business and enterprise computing products
using semantic techniques, e-business entrepreneurs are
finding solutions to these problems and attempting to enhance the meaning
of online business and thus reducing the risks of online business, and also
reduces the time of enterprise computing applications developments.

NL Central Preview
I'm convinced that there is only one way the Cubs can win a World Series: repeated playoff appearances. This theory is backed by the ninety-something years before the '07 and '08 teams, during which time the Cubs never appeared in the playoffs more than once in a row.
Having said that, I feel very good about the Cubs' chances in the NL Central this year.
Look around this division. What do you see? In reverse order of their finishes in 2008:
Pittsburgh - Paul Maholm might win 10 games, but I don't see anyone else in their rotation that stands a chance of doing so. If you don't have starting pitching, you don't stand a chance over the course of a regular season in my book.
Cincinnati - The only other team in the division with a robust rotation that could get them to a bunch of wins in 2009. Harang's 2008 was atrocious, and I blame it all on Dusty Baker's using him in a relief appearance for no freaking reason. Of course, Dusty will be back in Cincy this year, and is just as likely to make a similarly stupid pitching move. But if Harang returns to form, Volquez and Cueto improve, and Arroyo provides some stability in the #4 spot, they have something there. They also have a closer with experience, something St Louis lacks. On offense, I guess they need a lot of help from Votto and Bruce, but Votto is damn good. Griffey and Dunn are gone, so the outfield defense adds by subtraction. I'm gonna take these guys as the Cubs' stiffest competition in 2009.
St. Louis - Carpenter is still hurt. Mark Mulder can't throw 85 (is he also gone?). That leaves Adam Wainwright and Kyle Lohse as their front-of-the-rotation starters, and Joel Piniero and Todd Wellemeyer in the back, with a Spring Training success story filling the rotation out. I see a lot of potential for quality starts, but who do they give the ball to after the 6th inning? Russ Springer is gone, and Jason Isringhausen is no longer Jason Isringhausen. It's a good team that will win a lot of games, but I just don't see how they prevent enough runs to win 90 of them.
Houston - Two good starters, two crappy ones. A couple solid relievers, a lot of crappy ones. A few great hitters, and a few crappy ones. There's some talent here, but not enough to win consistently. Oswalt looked bad at times last year, Wandy has never been good on the road, and then their third starter is Brandon Backe? Oy vey. Not too frightened. They'll suck for a long while, make their late push, and end up in the 85-win range.
Milwaukee - Ben Sheets is likely gone, as is CC Sabathia. Without those two, their rotation is really really weak. I expect the same type of results from Jeff Suppan that I do from Jason Marquis, and he's their 2nd starter. These guys could finish 5th in the division.
So that's everyone. The way I see it:
That's a division where the Cubs should win a lot of games. 95 is very reasonable, and that has to be a playoff bound team. Right?
Pitching Update
With Heilman coming in and Olson gone, let's recategorize our current pitching staff to see what is reasonable to expect for 2009 as of today.
Four of our starters are easy:
Z, Demp, Lilly, Harden
The "bona fide" relievers:
Marmol, Gregg, Cotts, Vizcaino
Then the swingmen, who might start or relieve, but will be on the 12-man:
Marshall, Gaudin, Heilman
That's 11 of 12, leaving one spot for the three pitchers left on our roster without options:
Wuertz, Guzman, Hill
Then there are the AAA guys, who might be major league ready, but simply don't fit as of right now, and will likely be in the minors since they have options:
Samardzija, Stevens, Hart
I think that's where the list ends for possible '09 contributors, although someone like Cashner might also surprise. Who knows.
So guys, what do we do with all these arms? Who starts? Relieves? Pitches in Iowa? Is traded?
An Addendum to the Letters to the Owner
Hey Ricketts,
I for one just wanted to let you know where I stand specifically on the 2009 season. I've also got a buddy named Rob who, I think, feels similarly, so since there's two of us, you better take us seriously.
As the new owner of your favorite sports franchise, you're probably excited about the prospect of getting involved in the baseball side of things--making the deals, signing off on big, flashy new acquisitions, and so on and so forth. I bet you're totally psyched about the prospect of getting behind the wheel on things like the pending Jake Peavy deal, and making things happen for our beloved club. I have to say, I'm pretty jealous.
As you well know, many trades in our sport involve two types of players. Most often, one team gives up "young, talented prospects," in exchange for "proven major league level talent." For example, you may be asked to give up some prospects, such as Josh Vitters, Sean Marshall, Garrett Olson, Kevin Hart, Ronny Cedeno, Angel Guzman, and others in exchange for a Jake Peavy-type starting pitcher (in which case, for God's sakes, PULL THE TRIGGER MAN!!!!).
A well-run franchise often balances the need to succeed in the present, with a sense of preparing for the future; win now, while keeping SOMETHING in the farm to build on for the next go-round. This concept of balance brings me to my request for the 2009 season.
Good sir. I implore you. SCREW BALANCE!
You have just purchased a team that is prepared to win now. It is not perfect, but it is damn near close, and much closer than every team in its division, much less its league. Members of the baseball media have led us fans to believe that a deal for Jake Peavy is, at the very least, possible. I strongly urge you to give up whatever it takes to complete this deal.
Furthermore, if Jim or Randy or any other member of Cubs' brass approaches you with a deal that improves the 2009 team, PLEASE do not let 2015 get in the way of that deal. Of course, as I've already mentioned, this team is already really good, and shouldn't need many more upgrades, but you get what I'm saying.
For my part of the bargain, I promise I will not get huffy at any point before 2015 if the Cubs flat out suck. I will direct my attention to the newest Cub acquisitions obtained via the draft. I will go on and on about how spectacular they are, while the glorious veterans of yesteryear slowly fade into average-ness. I will wear my Soto jersey with pride as we restock the farm and prepare for another run at greatness.
The window is closing, Ricksy. Hurry up and win while there's still time.
Who's better?
I understand the bias of the crowd I'm preaching to. However...
I invite any member of the GROTA Army to offer up an NL team that they think is better than ours (i.e., the Cubs). I strongly encourage position-by-position comparisons. Is there a better lineup? A better rotation?
Open Thread: MB's Contract
Is anyone else out there incredibly pleased with the terms of Milton Bradley's contract? Only $7MM for 2009?! Potential buyout for 2011?! I mean, we got our guy, for an incredibly reasonable price, with team protection in the third year! This is good news! Really, really good news!!!
Some Bradley Fun. Thanks Wikipedia!
On December 13, 2005, Bradley was traded to the Oakland Athletics along with infielder Antonio Pérez for outfielder Andre Ethier, who at the time was a minor league prospect.
In game 4 of the 2006 American League Championship Series versus the Detroit Tigers, Bradley became the third player in Major League History to hit home runs from each side of the plate in a playoff game, joining Bernie Williams and Chipper Jones.
On June 21, 2007, the Athletics designated Bradley for assignment. Eight days later, the San Diego Padres acquired Bradley and cash considerations from the Oakland A's in exchange for minor league pitcher Andrew Brown, marking the second time the two had been traded for each other. The Padres did not require Bradley to pass a physical examination before signing him, as he would have failed it and gone elsewhere. Bradley started his tenure with the Padres on the 15-day disabled list, but came off it right before the All-Star break. After the break, he was a continual starter in left field and one of the most consistent hitters for the Padres throughout the rest of the season.
According to the The Dallas Morning News Bradley attempted to confront Kansas City Royals television announcer Ryan Lefebvre in the press box following a game due to what he believed were unfair comments made on the air. As the Rangers' designated hitter, Bradley was able to watch the broadcast when he wasn't on the field and took offense to a comparison Lefebrve made between him and Josh Hamilton. Manager Ron Washington and general manager Jon Daniels chased after him and stopped Bradley before he got to Lefebvre, at which point Bradley returned to the clubhouse in tears and said
"All I want to do is play baseball and make a better life for my kid than I had, that's it," Bradley said to a quiet clubhouse. "I love all you guys. ... I'm strong, but I'm not that strong."
Daniels said that Bradley was upset that someone that didn't know him was passing judgments about him.[8]
Let's hope to God Milton Bradley doesn't know about this blog.
What about the bullpen?
Well, Jason Marquis-to-Colorado appears to be all but a done deal. Many fans expect Sean Marshall to step in as the new 5th dude in the rotation for 2009. In the Shout Box, Chief has wondered aloud what would happen to the bullpen if this were to actually happen.
Fortunately for the Cubs, there are too many names to list in the Shout Box to complete this discussion. Of course, only one of those names refers to a lefty. If Sean Marshall were to move into the rotation, Neal Cotts would be the Cubs' only left handed reliever.
But who might the Cubs use in the bullpen beyond Cotts?
Carlos Marmol and Kevin Gregg are near certainties for the 8th and 9th innings (although it's less clear who will pitch when). That likely leaves four spots for the following pitchers, which I now present to you in a particular order:
Jeff Samardzija - Anybody who followed the Cubs in 2008 knows what this kid can do. The Shark throws gas. However, while he ended up with a great ERA, he had some issues throwing strikes toward the end of last season. Might be better off as a starter in AAA, both from an individual standpoint, and as a valueable "sixth starter" for the Cubs. But if he were put in the pen, he certainly has the stuff to succeed.
Michael Wuertz - His out pitch is a plus slider, and I happen to think it's a pretty good pitch. I've seen him get big strikeouts with it. Wuertz' problem is the base on balls - he walks too many opposing hitters. However, before 2008 he did manage to rack up a K per inning every year of his career. Even though many interpreted last year as a down year for him, he had an ERA of 3.63. His career ERA is 3.57; furthermore, his career BAA is .233 (this is against hitters from either side of the plate). This guy should have a chance to pitch for the major league club, and I think Lou will give him that chance in spring training.
Chad Gaudin - People were very pleased with Jim Hendry when he managed to steal this guy away from the A's along with Rich Harden. He was viewed as a "utility pitcher" that could start in case Harden were injured, or pitch out of the 'pen as well. For me, the numbers aren't really there. In 64 innings in 2006, for example, he walked more guys than he struck out. Some people are expecting this guy to contribute in 2009 after he tanked in late '08 (something about a drunken accident with a dumpster?); frankly, I myself don't expect a huge rebound.
Luis Vizcaino - Luis is a newcomer to the Cubs in 2009, and will likely be in the bullpen, if for no other reason than his contract--he's making a few million bucks next year. Had a bad year last year, but was apparently frustrated with his usage. He's had some good years in the past, but cannot get lefties out for the life of him over the course of his career.
Jeff Stevens - Acquired in the DeRosa trade, Stevens is a strong candidate to pitch in relief for the Cubs in 2009. He put together 30 very strong innings at AAA at the end of 2008, with 44 strikeouts, only 19 hits, and only 16 walks. He has a career 3 to 1 K to BB ratio in the minors. Good control, success at the highest level of the minors - he'll definitely have a shot from Day 1.
So that's the crew, as far as I can tell. There are a ton of young, unproven names like Angel Guzman, Randy Wells, Kevin Hart, Jose Ascanio, Mitch Atkins, and lefty Carmen Pignatiello that may get a shot throughout the course of the season. But I think there's really only a couple of ways Lou can go with his bullpen for Opening Day 2009, depending upon whether Jeff Samardzija starts at AAA or in the 'pen.
My guess: Marmol, Gregg, Samardzija/Stevens, Wuertz, Cotts, Gaudin, Vizcaino.
The RBI Question
I'm going to try to address the "RBI Question" by looking at two consecutive years in the career of Brian Giles.
In 2004, Giles had an OPS+ of 128. In 159 games played, he had 94 RBI. As a team, the Padres scored 768 runs that year.
In 2005, Giles had an OPS+ of 146. In 158 games played, he had 83 RBI. As a team, the Padres scored 684 runs that year.
Giles hit third both seasons, had the same home park, played almost the exact same number of games each year. Presumably, his "clutch" ability was the same both years.
This is what I mean when I say RBIs have very little to do with the guy at the plate. He could be an awful hitter, or he could be a fantastic hitter, but HOLDING ALL OTHER FACTORS CONSTANT, his RBI total will vary dramatically based on the other hitters on his team.
So, miltie, are you still worried about Dunn's "clutch" factor? Or do you think he might be able to knock some more runs in if he were brought on to a team with a competent offense?
Hey Kurt! I Think Jim's Been OK.
Keith's comment on Kurt's recent board games update was spot on. I'd like to add to that senitiment by pointing out the highlights of what I think has been a successful offseason thus far for Jim Hendry and the Cubs.
First, though, I should address the one move that clearly has the most potential to look like a disaster for the Cubs: Jose Ceda-for-Kevin Gregg. Ceda was a Top 5, sometimes considered "untouchable" prospect for the Cubs, featuring a fastball consistently in the mid-to-high 90s. In return, we got kind of a crappy closer, whose ERA benefitted from a strangely low HR/FB rate in 2008. Let's hope this doesn't turn out to be as awful a deal as many sportswriters think it might be.
Now on to the successes. Before the Winter Meetings started, I for one saw a distinct possibility that Hendry might sign Abreu or Ibanez. I mean, come on, typical Cub move, right? Pay too much for a big name that's old and on the decline?
But Hendry didn't do that. He was reportedly uninterested in Ibanez, and presumably Abreu, for the same reason we here at GROTA were - poor defense. I'm guessing that's the same reason he hasn't really gone after Dunn yet (although the entire Adam Dunn market has been reallly, really quiet lately, so who knows what's happening there).
Not signing a free agent right fielder who can't play right field? Well done. Not giving up our entire farm system for Jake Peavy? Good decision. Generating interest in a player with sizeable salary and blocked youth behind him, who furthermore had a career year in 2008? Nice. Avoiding Ibreu, retaining Vitters AND Pie AND Cedeno AND Guzman AND Hart AND Marshall instead of moving at least five of those guys for Peavy, and gauging/raising the trade value of Mark DeRosa have all been solid moves.
He's also identified someone that people at GROTA have generally accepted as a legitimate target to fulfill a Cub need. Milton Bradley is athletic, a competent defender, led the AL in OPS last year, and hits from both sides of the plate.
There's nothing Jim Hendry can do to convince Bradley to sign before the Red Sox and Angels address their needs on offense. Bradley, like a boatload of other free agents, is waiting for Mark Teixeira to sign with a team. Once that deal is done, everything else will fall into place. Hopefully, that leaves us in a position where all we have to do is outbid the Rays.
So yeah, I think Jim's done OK for himself so far. And I won't really change that stance unless we miss on Bradley AND Dunn.
This definitely counts as a Mark DeRosa trade rumor.
Thanks, MLBTR!
A quote from Joe Christensen at the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:
"The Twins haven't lost hope of prying infielder Mark DeRosa from the Cubs, but they have hit dead ends in their pursuit of Colorado's Garrett Atkins and Seattle's Adrian Beltre."
That's interesting.

Illinois regulators have approved the route for a high-voltage power line that will travel across Illinois and eventually wind up here in Vigo county.
The 345,000-volt transmission line will affect about 8,400 landowners.
Ameren Transmission Company of Illinois says the $1.1 billion Illinois Rivers Project is needed to improve the power grid's reliability and efficiency.
Construction is set to begin later this year. Sections could be in use by 2016.

All of this was by Mikey Davies, just thought i couldnt not blog this! amazing!
"Capturing an image for what it means to you. For the first time in my life i felt like i needed to take a picture of something to tell the world.
As i walked down boscombe high street i went into a charity shop and their was a rather ill man in there asking to buy VHS. this man was obviously mentally ill and i felt abit uncomfortable as he seemed rather anxious but i wasnt to make a deal out of it and i let him get on. yet i know there were other people mocking him for who he was and how he had a disability. i left the shop and felt terrible how i had slightly judged this man on who he was and felt uncomfortable for his actions around me.
It wasnt until a few hours after this though that i saw him again, this time bent over a large sketchbook and curiously caught a look at his book. his artwork was some of the most amazing pictures i had seen. brilliant colours and really truly inspiring. the way the colours were so vibrant shows how we all see the world in different ways.
i took this picture of him because i felt this moment of my life had to be captured."

Illinois State Treasurer Dan Rutherford took to Twitter to release his excitement over being on the campaign trail with Mitt Romney.
Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford hasn't received the best press for his handling of the Illinois chapter of the Mitt Romney campaign.
But that hasn't stopped Rutherford from fawning on Twitter over his candidate's campaign and the time the two have spent together while Romney tours Illinois. The tweets remind us of a child who gets to ride shotgun in the family station wagon for the first time. Oh Boy! They lack substance and focus too much on joy riding with the candidate.
"While i outdoor jogged, mitt at fitness center getting good exercise right now on elliptical,"Rutherford tweeted on March 18 at 8:39 a.m.
Rutherford got hammered in national press outlets for the way he handled Romney's once dominant delegate position in Illinois. From Politico.com:
Mitt Romney's vaunted organization nearly failed him in Illinois, where he only remained eligible for delegates on the ballot after a negotiated truce between his campaign and Rick Santorum's people.
The problems stem from the campaign relying on Illinois state Treasurer Dan Rutherford. He struggled to acquire enough signatures to qualify for Romney's delegates and then had the statement of candidacy notarized out of state, which the Santorum campaign challenged despite having its own statement of candidacy notarized in Iowa.
Compare that news with Rutherford's Twitter blasts and you might get confused as to why the Romney campaign thought he'd be a good choice to head up their organization.
Below is a sampling of our favorite Rutherford Tweets from the last 72 hours (pay close attention to the Jimmy John's satisfaction):

Floyd County Board of Supervisors Workshop Meeting
October 10, 2005, 9:00 AM
The Floyd County Board of Supervisors met for workshop at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, October 26, 2005 in the Board Room of the Floyd County Courthouse with the following in attendance: Chairman Enabnit, Supv. Staudt, Supv. Dunkel.
Staudt/Dunkel moved to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried 3-0.
The Board will review claims individually after the meeting.
The Board discussed budget amendment concerns: 1) The Rockford Fossil & Prairie Park completed the blacktop work in the parking lot. No money had been budgeted in this fiscal year for this project. 2) Public Health/Home Health and Board of Health/Zoning. 3) Supervisor's budget due to the additional costs for publications of meeting minutes. 4) With the new state voter registration system (IVoters), pilot counties recommend having a full-time person devoted to setting up the new system. The Auditor will like to move Mary Mooberry from a permanent part-time employee to a permanent full-time employee. The increase in Mary's wages could be offset by the cost of the voting equipment which is coming in under budget.
Chairman Enabnit and the Auditor updated Supv Dunkel and Supv Staudt on the consensus of the Department Heads on the following issues. 1) There should be no specific limit on purchases/expenses as long as it is within the budget. Department heads should be conscious of getting bids where appropriate. The Board should be made aware of major purchases through the budget process. 2) When individual budgeted line items are not expended, they can be used within the same department's budget on other line items if needed. 3) All new hirees for departments who report to the board should be approved by the Board before a candidate is hired. 4) The sick leave policy has been used for increments as small as one hour and at the discretion of the department head may be used for preventive maintenance appointments. 5) Changes to the employee handbook should be ran across departments heads but are ultimately approved by the Board. The Auditor will send an e-mail to department heads regarding striking "of several days or longer" from the handbook.
NIMS training will be brought up at another meeting.
Bob Lincoln, CPC Director, presented a proposal in regards to including Black Hawk County with the Floyd, Butler, Cerro Gordo, and Mitchell County 28E administrative agreement for effective and efficient management of mental health and developmental disabilities resources. Black Hawk County approached Lincoln about this effort. Lincoln will continue pursuing this idea further.
The Board discussed adding AFLAC Long Term Care to payroll deductions. The Board has no interest in adding any plans for payroll deductions at this time.
The Board discussed payroll deduction for United Way. No one is currently doing this on payroll deduction. Concerns discussed were where you draw the line on allowing payroll deductions and when it becomes a costly to the County. This is a good civic service organization and the board doesn't object to employees participating in it. The Board has concerns about discriminating by only offering a payroll deduction service to specific organizations whether it be civic service organizations or vendors for insurance plans. The Board discussed coming up with a policy not allowing any further payroll deductions other than the ones that are currently in existence. The Auditor will see how other counties handle these issues.
Future agenda items – nothing discussed.
A motion was made by Supervisor Dunkel and seconded by Supervisor Staudt to adjourn. Motion carried 3-0.
Gloria A. Carr Arlin V. Enabnit, Chairman
Floyd County Auditor Floyd County Board of Supervisors

Our goal is to educate and enrich our children's lives and for those who need financial assistance please contact the coordinator.
Bodhi School provides children and young teenagers with education in the tradition of Shambhala Buddhism as well as providing youth with an opportunity to experience one of the Three Jewels – sangha.
Together, we explore meditative principles as a way to work with the heart and mind. We work with the idea of basic goodness as a way to instill confidence, bravery and kindness, and discover how the principles of compassion and loving-kindness can be vehicles for working with oneself and others in the world.
We also discover how to be mindful and cultivate awareness of the moment. Children naturally connect with this type of awareness. One Bodhi School student, when asked in class what his best, most favorite day was, replied "Now, right now, is my best day." (Noah, age 7)
Bodhi School welcomes youth from the Shambhala community and the general public. We have three groups: Tigers (ages 1-4), Garudas (grades 1-5) and Dragons (grades 6 - 12).
Tigers group is a playgroup for the under-Kindergarten crowd. A parent is required in the room at all times. This is an opportunity for the tots to feel the uplifted environment of the Center and the parents to socialize and relax together. Tigers and their parent(s) are also welcome to join with the Garudas in the Main Shrine Room.
Garudas explore the world through their senses, developing trust in their own experience. Through nature, music, art, movement, and interacting with each other, children discover their own relationship with the world.
Dragons are ready to step out in life and make many of their own decisions. These young people are ready to begin short periods of meditation and mindfulness practices, along with a rich variety of age appropriate activities. Life these days offers so many distractions, so many choices. It is important to develop innate insight to know what to accept and what to reject.
Parenting as Path
For parents, the Philadelphia Shambhala Center will offer Parenting as Path, companion course to Bodhi School that helps parents integrate mindfulness into their lives. Each meeting will integrate socializing, meditation, a talk and group discussion. The theme of each class will follow the Bodhi School's Paramita curriculum to allow parents to connect further with what their children will learn in Bodhi School.
The Bodhi School Tigers, Garudas, and Parenting as Path meet on the first Sunday of every month from January through June from 10:15 am - 12:00 noon (except in March we will meet Sunday the 9th).First time guests are asked to come at 10:00 am for pre-registration.
The Dragon group is in development and will be meeting at times over the course of the spring months in order to better serve the interests of people this age.
For questrion, please contact: Kris Stinson: email@example.com
Please register online to help with planning. $70 per Child / $95 per Family. Payment is due on the first class. Payments may be made online for a single child and onsite for families.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Lamentably I'm in a similar situation :/
In my guild there's a dozen healers, which I'm one. Out of them, I'm generally one of the best performing; but am also one of the newest. So I get sat out of many fights, so the more senior members can gear up and get badges. Mostly I'm not a first choice unless more senior healers aren't on. I feel like the main reason they let me hang around, is because they know I'm good, and don't want to lose access "just in case". But definitely, I'm not getting that they really have my interests in mind.
While I understand why. They want to be loyal to people who have demonstrated their willingness to stick with the guild. In the end the practice is unfair to new members; and not even based on merit. I've not left because I actually like the membership. But don't think I haven't wondered if I'd be happier somewhere else. The main thing I'd recommend is make sure to PUG 10 man ICC, and VOA when it comes out. Keep your gear current. Maybe don't even show up for raid nights while the "senior" members have their fun. Then in a month or so when everyone gets bored, they'll be begging you to run if you can wait. If you can't, then take your time and look around for a guild that will appreciate your efforts better. It is a game, and if you're not having fun, then what's the point.

People have almost always had reservations about new technologies and their place in social interactions. Too many people, however, are downplaying Google Glass' potential on the grounds that it makes social situations awkward.
I agree that it can be flustering to see the person you're having a conversation with twitch her eyeballs between you and the corner of her glasses. However, complaining about how Glass ruins the integrity of your interactions makes you of the same class of 19th century citizens who complained about the devilishness of the telephone. Their criticisms were remarkably similar — too little privacy, too inappropriate, too suspicious.
The critics seemed to have forgotten that Glass is still at the beginning of its evolution as a product. Naturally, there will be social mishaps and misgivings. Some people even might be offended by the mere utterance of "O.K. Glass" in their presence. However, over time, their pretension will fatigue. New norms will be decided and ultimately, if Glass is as utilitarian as its backers expect it to be, we will adapt, tolerate and eventually accept it as a fixture in our lives.
EDIT: Moments after I published this post, Gary Shteyngart's piece in the New Yorker discussing his East Coast travels with Glass appeared in my feed. Highly recommended.

More Benefits
With so many choices of credit cards it can be difficult to choose the one that would meet all of your needs best. Some credit cards offer points that are typically one point per dollar that can later be redeemed at a virtual shopping mall to purchase items based on a point value. Other cards offer perks such as airline miles per dollars spent. All of these cards seem nice with their values yet undetermined, but it simply makes the most sense to look into a cash back card where you are not forced to buy something you might not have wanted in the first place.
The MBNA Smart Cash Mastercard is one of the most comprehensive cash reward cards out there offering a great value to Canadians as well. The first six months after the card becomes active, Smart Cash offers a 5% cash back value on all eligible gas and grocery purchases. Since these are purchases that nearly every consumer must make, unlike restaurants or specialty stores, the value is present from the get go. The great value of this card is that after the first six months, this Mastercard continues to award 2% cash back on eligible gas and grocery purchases thereafter. The limits of your awards do not begin and end with gas and groceries. Additionally, the MBNA Smart Cash Mastercard offers 1% cash back on all remaining eligible purchases. This is more value than most cash reward cards which typically limit earnings to one or two categories.
MBNA offers easy free and online access to your credit account at all hours of the day or night making it very simple to view your purchases, make balance transfers with their low introductory annual interest rate or 1.99%, access cheques and deposits. There is no annual fee on this account and additional cards can be ordered for free. The benefits add up quickly and amount to a great deal of rewards.
Unlike other cards, MBNA pays you your totals by cheque as soon as your totals reach $50 at the end of the billing cycle. Most other cards make you wait until their annual pay period and even then your rewards are credited to your account, not issued as cash on hand. A weekly trip to Superstore for $150 and a stop at Petro for $50 has already earned you $10 cash back. It's easy to see how quickly the rewards will add up.

It is expected the preferred trader program would be launched in the first half of 2014.

Trade-Ideas: State Street (STT) Is Today's Unusual Social Activity Stock
- STT has 18x the normal benchmarked social activity for this time of the day compared to its average of 2.00 mentions/day.
- STT has an average dollar-volume (as measured by average daily share volume multiplied by share price) of $177.6 million.
Identifying stocks with 'Unusual Social Activity' tends to be a valuable process for traders looking to capitalize on the 'talk of the town' stocks that are basking in far more attention from the StockTwits financial community than normal. Good press? Bad press? It ultimately doesn't matter if it's good or bad if you know how to trade around the sentiment. Certain hedge funds use such data for their proprietary algorithms and it is not uncommon to see shared social sentiment play itself out in a stock's price trend. EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Get the inside scoop on opportunities in STT with the Ticky from Trade-Ideas. See the FREE profile for STT NOW at Trade-Ideas More details on STT: State Street Corporation, a financial holding company, provides investment servicing and investment management services to institutional investors worldwide. The stock currently has a dividend yield of 1.5%. STT has a PE ratio of 16.0. Currently there are 13 analysts that rate State Street a buy, 1 analyst rates it a sell, and 5 rate it a hold. The average volume for State Street has been 3.0 million shares per day over the past 30 days. State Street has a market cap of $31.7 billion and is part of the financial sector and financial services industry. The stock has a beta of 1.69 and a short float of 1.3% with 2.36 days to cover. Shares are up 49.1% year to date as of the close of trading on Thursday. STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12-months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates State Street as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth, attractive valuation levels, expanding profit margins and increase in net income. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 58.56% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, STT should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- STATE STREET CORP has improved earnings per share by 15.3% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, STATE STREET CORP increased its bottom line by earning $4.19 versus $3.79 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($4.55 versus $4.19).
- The gross profit margin for STATE STREET CORP is currently very high, coming in at 95.64%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 18.22% is above that of the industry average.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500, but is less than that of the Capital Markets industry average. The net income increased by 8.7% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $427.00 million to $464.00 million.

There is the relatively new Kicking Horse Ski Resort www.kickinghorseresort.com that has a gorgeous 360 degree view of the Canadian Rockies. I don't ski myself, but our kids say the powdery snow is perfect. In the summers we go mountain biking and hiking. Golden also has an 18-hole golf course and white water rafting companies in the Kicking Horse River. Visit also Field, BC's eastern-most town bordering Lake Louise, Alberta, 20 minutes from Golden. The famous Burgess Shale, the world's most significant fossil find--a fossil bed that details life on Earth, 520 Million years ago-- is found here.

KHQ.COM - Astronaut Scott Kelly will become the first U.S. astronaut to spend a year in space. He is volunteering to be a human guinea pig -- to help NASA
collect detailed medical and psychological data about the effects of
long term spaceflight on a human. He and cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko
are scheduled to launch to the International Space Station in 2015 and return to Earth in 2016.
He was on the space station when his twin brother Mark was struggling to deal with the trauma of his wife's shooting. Mark Kelly, now retired from the astronaut corps, is a married to former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords – and Scott could only offer long distance support to his twin brother when his wife was shot during in January 2011.

Journalists typically don't like to write about themselves. It comes from years of writing in the third person and striving for objectivity. And with so many critics of the press, reporters assume no one likes them. Robert Timberg grapples with this issue in his moving memoir, Blue-Eyed Boy. After nearly 40 years as a journalist and three noteworthy books, perhaps he has a story to tell. But he also has self-doubts. Then he looks in the mirror and sees his disfigured face. It is an image he has been trying to forget since 1967, when as a young soldier in Vietnam, just days away from the end of his tour, he suffered third-degree burns from a land mine explosion. He finally decides to confront this defining moment of his life. "I want to remember how I decided not to die," he writes. "To not let my future die."
Although he speaks repeatedly of his "two Italies"—a phrase he borrows from the poet Shelley—Joseph Luzzi is neither fully at home among the coarse elements of Calabrian culture his immigrant parents brought with them to America nor within the borders of Italy itself, what with its infuriating mix of high art and low purpose. But it is this unresolved quality of Luzzi's musings—the back and forth tugging of a splendid mind—that makes this book so alive and such a pleasure to read.
"In the summer of 2005, I was at a Burger King with Harper Lee." With those tantalizing opening words, former Chicago Tribune reporter Marja Mills has us hooked. We want to know not just why the reclusive Harper Lee is talking to a journalist, but also why she and the novelist are sitting in a Burger King, of all places.
Robert L. O'Connell's Fierce Patriot: The Tangled Lives of William Tecumseh Sherman includes a photograph of the celebrated Civil War general with his staff. While the other men strike classic poses and gaze into the middle distance, Sherman sits slightly slumped, legs crossed, jacket unbuttoned, glittering eyes focused directly on the camera. It fits with the popular notion of Sherman, the man who invented "modern war" and whose soldiers burned a path of destruction through the American South.
Amid the 21st-century glut of overindulgent memoirs, The Removers is a poignant, near-perfect addition to the genre. Andrew Meredith writes of growing up in a crumbling Philadelphia neighborhood, his family quietly imploding in the wake of a scandal that cost his father his university job.
There are many reasons to love a good misery memoir: In my case, reading about other people's dysfunctional childhoods offers a sense of community, a sisterhood of resilient Gen Xers who survived a 1970s childhood. Cea Sunrise Person's engaging new memoir, North of Normal, evokes both the miserable excesses and occasional beauty of growing up in a counterculture family in the wilderness of the Me Decade.
It's easy to understand why Don Wallace and his wife Mindy were captivated by a beautiful French island called Belle Île. Don, who grew up in California, and Mindy, who was from Hawaii, were living in a cramped, dark Manhattan apartment. Belle Île's sunshine and surf spoke to their soul.
BookPage Nonfiction Top Pick, June 2014
It was on a gray December day that 23-year-old Joanna Rakoff, nestled into her couch rereading Persuasion, received the call that she had gotten the job. Fresh out of grad school and without much of a game plan—aside from a deep-rooted desire to become a poet—Rakoff landed a position at one of the most storied literary agencies in New York City, one that represented such literary legends as F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner and Judy Blume.
Ah, WASPs: Those guilt-ridden, uptight, real estate-obsessed traditionalists. In Perfectly Miserable: Guilt, God and Real Estate in a Small Town, Sarah Payne Stuart captures the essence of this distinctive culture, tracing both her own childhood in Concord, Massachusetts, and the lives of some of Concord's famous residents, including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Louisa May Alcott.
Fond looks back at profound dysfunction have become so commonplace, it's a wonder there's not a "crazy parenting" section in bookstores to help the next generation of memoirists get a leg up. At this point, crazy itself is not sufficient reason to publish. In Take This Man, Brando Skyhorse, who won a PEN/Hemingway Award for his first novel (The Madonnas of Echo Park), captures the details of his dysfunctional upbringing with note-perfect language and does so in pursuit of the truth about his family.

Hi, I just wanted to write a counter review to the review saying that Mark was rude to someone's wife. Clearly I can't say if that did or didn't happen but I can say that I have had many conversations with Mark and he has never been rude. My experience with Mark is that he's a straight shooter. This is a small independent shop and almost every time I call Mark himself answers the phone with...
Mark is an outstanding mechanic, especially with Corvettes. He worked on my '88 from my initial purchase and always kept it in top shape. I won't buy another used one without him checking it out first.
