IBM Launches New Cloud-Based and On Premise Software to Help Clients Deepen Engagement with Partners and Suppliers
New Offerings Deliver Greater Insight, Visibility and Control Across the Extended Value Chain
Select a topic or year
ARMONK, NY and TAMPA, FL - 13 May 2014:
At its Smarter Commerce Global Summit in Tampa, IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced new cloud-based and on premise software to help organizations deepen engagement with their partners and suppliers to ensure goods and services are delivered precisely when and where they are needed.
With its new partner and supplier engagement software, IBM is giving business leaders deeper insight and control over their external business relationships, while reducing associated risks and increasing collaboration. This tightens synchronization across their extended ecosystem, ensuring these complex networks of third-party relationships boost their ability to innovate and gain a competitive advantage. The new offerings further extend IBM's leadership in enabling an adaptive value chain, where it is already helping 160,000 global businesses manage the flow of critical corporate data and mitigate organizational risk.
At a time when organizations are re-inventing themselves around the customer experience, the importance of building deeper partner and supplier engagements has never been greater. According to CAPS Research1, on average businesses spend nearly half of their revenue with their ecosystem of partners and suppliers. Whether an organization has tens, hundreds or even thousands of suppliers and partners, each play a role in delivering an exceptional customer experience.
"Now more than ever, the fate of any business is deeply intertwined with the success of its network of partners and suppliers around the world," said John Mesberg, Vice President, B2B & Commerce Solutions, IBM. "By orchestrating these complex engagements with extraordinary precision and insight, organizations can create new gateways to trade that enable businesses to deliver exceptional customer experiences. With today's news, IBM fundamentally transforms these dynamics with partners and customers to drive faster time to revenue across the extended value chain."
Today's announcement features new cloud-based and on premise supplier and partner engagement capabilities that drive the following benefits:
- Better collaboration for faster time to value: The IBM Multi-Enterprise Relationship Management (MRM) platform enables large organizations to connect and manage shared business processes across a variety of business communities in their ecosystem, including partners, suppliers and customers. MRM also significantly reduces the often tedious onboarding process of trading partners, in some cases cutting time by nearly 90 percent, which results in faster time to revenue.
- Deeper insights for better decision making: IBM Sterling B2B Services Reporting and Analytics enhances the IBM Sterling B2B Collaboration Network by monitoring transactions across an organization's ecosystem to help businesses spot performance trends and make better decisions.
- Lower risk and enhanced compliance: New enhancements to IBM Standards Processing Engine, Supplier Lifecycle Management and Contract Lifecycle Management solutions will continue to provide companies with capabilities that monitor, manage and action the data associated with risk and compliance with a complete view of their value chain and the ability to more proactively mitigate risk.
- Faster and more efficient data sharing: IBM Aspera eXtreme File Transfer enables companies to send big data at maximum speed across any distance while avoiding traditional networking limitations and bottlenecks. IBM Aspera Enterprise File Sync and Share compliments this solution by providing teams with the ability to quickly and securely share and exchange data of any size directly from desktop and mobile devices, making it easier than ever to initiate secure high-speed transfers.
Lenovo works with IBM to simplify and deepen their partner and supplier collaboration. Using IBM Sterling B2B Integration Services, Lenovo built a unified foundation to connect and collaborate across its partner ecosystem as well as reduce the time it takes to onboard new partners by 85 percent. By optimizing its supply chain with IBM solutions, Lenovo ensures complete customer satisfaction from purchase through fulfillment, invoicing and servicing.
"The path to Lenovo becoming the global PCs leader was not taken alone," said Chuck Igba, Director, B2B/EDI Strategy & Enablement, Lenovo. "Our business depends upon more than 325 global trading partners to drive innovation through the organization. By implementing IBM solutions, we provide Lenovo's business leaders with a 360-degree view across the ecosystem so they can maximize the value that our partners and suppliers bring to the company."
IBM's Smarter Commerce initiative delivers innovative solutions that help organizations re-invent themselves to enrich and deepen engagement with customers, suppliers and partners.

New Blog Post to The Greenling Blog
As author Kevin Werblyo argues, "Oftentimes, articles posted in academic journals (i.e., Water Resources Research, Journal of Hydrology, etc.) are exceptionally informative and relevant to the work performed by water resources professionals, but the articles themselves are not read by many non-academic practitioners." In the article posted to the blog, Werblyo summarizes a journal article relevant to all professionals practicing river restoration.

Floods, wildfires and rising seas put famed tourism areas at risk
Staff Report
United Nations leaders say that famed World Heritage sites around the world are facing a significant threat from climate change. Increasing floods, melting glaciers and more wildfires are among the risks cited in a new report from UNESCO's World Heritage Center.
"Globally, we need to better understand, monitor and address climate change threats to World Heritage sites," said the center's director, Mechtild Rössler. "As the report's findings underscore, achieving the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global temperature rise to a level well below 2 degrees Celsius is vitally important to protecting our World Heritage for current and future generations."

After thinking more about the enhancements to Google's Local Business Center, I realized a benefit that was overlooked in one of the less glamorous feature developments amongst the set.
As reported in a post earlier this week, one of the developments to Local Business Center is the ability for businesses to change or edit their location on a Google map if it is incorrect or outdated.
At first I thought this will find a marginal amount of utility for businesses and Google alike. Then I remembered something about local online mapping; the last block problem. This occurs when a mapping engine places a business or residence on a map based on its address; but the best it can do with that address is extrapolate its position within a given block.
For example, if your address is 1550 Lombard Street in San Francisco, an online map will put you right in the middle of the 1500 block, on the north side of the street. This is probably where you live, but in some cases this can be off the mark, and can have varying degrees of error depending on the length or density of your block (think rural areas). So this new feature for the first time lets businesses literally move their address marker to the right spot.
This falls in line with one of the reasons for the rest of the enhancements to Local Business Center; to improve the quality of Google's data. Google currently gets its data from a number of sources including commercial database vendors. The additional info from businesses themselves is hoped to sharpen this data with defined categories, custom attributes, etc.
The location feature in particular, interestingly works on a problem that has gotten very little attention. It's not a huge problem and this isn't a groundbreaking solution, but it's a step in the right direction to improve data quality. It's also in line with many of the user generated content initiatives (business generated content in this case) that are springing up all over the local search space in order to deepen content and improve SEO.
We'll have more analysis of Google's Local Business Center and the strategies behind it in a SearchDay article next week.

I am a home builder and remodeler i renovated this whole house .I bought this home for myself as a second home to go to for my family
marc delape purchased this house in 2010
This is a beautiful water view commuity for boating jetsking, kayaking,swimming and the private beach.
Me, my wife & 3 kids (ages11, 9, and 5) stayed for 5 days in May. The house is perfect for relaxing and having fun. Take the kayaks across the gulf access channel and see tons of jumping fish and rays swimming in 2 feet of water. Access to groceries is 3 minutes away, all the comforts of home. Plenty of space in the house and it was clean when we arrived. Pool is perfect. We went to the beach and it was clean and not crowded, but honestly, there is no need to leave the house. Transactions with the owner Marc were hassle free. We would highly recommend staying here.
We stayed in this home in March 2015 and absolutely loved everything about our stay. The home was extremely well appointed in a beautiful location and Marc's attention to detail was impeccable. We felt like we were on our own private resort when spending time by the pool. The private beach within walking distance, kayaking from the dock and visits from the local dolphins added to our unforgettable experience! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this vacation home for an extraordinary & worry free rental.
This vacation rental was wonderful.
The inside was spacious, clean, well decorated and had all your cooking & serving needs.
Outside living by the pool sitting back and relaxing is a must.
For touring around parks, shopping and further away cities it is very convenient.
The private beach for Gulf Harbor residence and guest is a bonus.
Never crowded, well maintained and friendly staff.
Marc, the owner was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had.
Great vacation destination and home.
Thank you Marc for sharing your home.
My family and I, six adults and one child, spent a week last month at this lovely house! The home is beautifully furnished and has plenty of room. The outdoor set-up is perfect - pool, Tiki Bar, kayaks - we enjoyed it all! Being at the house was very relaxing, we didn't venture out much. I do recommend Short Stack BBQ on Rt. 19 if you're looking for delicious barbeque! The owner was responsive and answered any question I had quickly. Overall, it was a wonderful week!
My wife, grown children, their spouses and grand child spent 10 wonderful nights staying here.
It was fantastic. My family really enjoyed the pool, the dock and the use of the kayaks.
I must say this was one of the best vacations we ever had.
The owner Marc was helpful and was always only a phone call or text away.
This home was perfect for our long Labor Day mini vacation. We had 6 adults and 3 children. My family didn't want to leave. We even seen a sea turtle swimming by...... Beautiful and relaxing.......

Kenneth Lott Holton of High Springs died peacefully Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 19, 2014, in the ICU at North Florida Regional after complications as a result of H1N1 and pneumonia. He was 58.
Kenneth Holton, affectionately known as Ken and Kenny, was born Dec. 16, 1955 in Starke, Fla., the youngest of five children. He was adopted and raised by Lott and Elvy Holton of High Springs.
Kenneth graduated from Santa Fe High School in 1973, where he led the Raider Regiment as Drum Major, and received a Bachelor of Arts in Music from the University of Florida. Music was his passion. He played any instrument he picked up but was most likely to be spotted behind a piano. Last week, wife Nanette said of Kenneth, "The first time I met him, he was sitting on a piano bench, I was only in the eighth grade and told our piano teacher that I was going to marry that handsome boy one day. I've been with the handsome man now for 41 years and he still makes me fall in love with him every time he sits down and plays the piano."
Kenneth was called to ministry at a young age and served at many churches in the area including Forest Grove Baptist of Alachua, North Central Baptist of Gainesville, and most recently Gateway Baptist of Lake City, where he led his final earthly congregation in worship. If he wasn't tuning a piano or leading a choir, he was probably underneath the hood of a car. He is remembered as a sweet man of utmost kindness, generosity, and servitude, an example and friend to many, and a maker of music and love.
Kenneth was preceded in death by his father, Bernice Lott Holton, and mother, Elvy Booth Holton; survived by his wife, Nanette E. Peacock Holton; three children Kendra Helton (Jonathan) of Chicago, Kena Little (Michael) of Jacksonville, and Kenneth Lott Holton II of High Springs.
Visitation will be held Friday, Feb. 21 at First Baptist High Springs, 20112 US Hwy 441, from 6 – 8 p.m. Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 22 at First Baptist High Springs; doors will open one hour prior. Interment will follow. Flowers are welcome. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kenneth Holton Memorial Fund, 25048 NW 182nd Ave., High Springs, FL 32643.

Eileen Agnes Sullivan, known affectionately by her siblings as "Lee," was born Oct. 4, 1925 in Brooklyn, N.Y. and passed away Feb. 9, 2014 in Green Cove Springs with her family by her side. She was the daughter of Bridget O'Sullivan and Daniel Sullivan, one of five siblings, and was preceded in death by three brothers: Raymond, Gerard and Charles, and a sister, Genevieve. They grew up on their family farm in upstate Middletown, N.Y.
Eileen met her husband, Joseph Aloysius Judd, Jr., a WW II US Army Corps veteran and Prison of War, at the local USO Center in New York City. She attained her designation as a Registered Nurse in 1949 from the School of Nursing at the Long Island College Hospital and worked at the Flower Fifth Avenue Hospital. She attended Hunter College in New York City, and in 1953 attained a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, and was enrolled in medical school for several years, but withdrew upon the birth of her daughter in 1956.
She moved to Miami Shores, Fla., in the early 1960s. She remarried and the family moved to California. She pursued a Master of Arts in English Literature from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1967. The family moved to Gainesville, Fla., in 1968. She attained a Doctor of Philosophy in Irish Literature at the University of Florida in 1969, and became a professor. Dr. Sullivan's last career was that of Cabinet Affairs Director at the former Florida Department of Natural Resources in Tallahassee from which she retired in 1990.
She was active in the local and state Democratic Party and launched a gubernatorial campaign in 1978. In her early years at the University of Florida, she was a founding member of the University Professors for Academic Order (UPAO). She was also a nominee for the Florida Women's Hall of Fame in 1984 hosted by former Governor Bob Graham.
Eileen loved gardening and touring abroad with her granddaughter, Tara. Most of all Eileen loved Irish folklore and literature and travelled extensively to Ireland where her cousins reside to this day.
She is survived by her daughter, Danielle JoAnne Judd of Green Cove Springs, Fla., a granddaughter, Tara Lee Malone of Alachua, Fla., three great grandchildren: Tony Dewayne Henderson, Jr., U.S. Marine Corps, Jacksonville, N.C., Catherine Danielle Henderson and Aidan Michael Henderson both of Alachua.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations may be given to the North Central Florida Alzheimer's Association Chapter in her memory. Special thanks are extended to her primary care physician, specializing in geriatrics, Dr. Sherif El-Salawy and Ms. Cheryl Robinson, LCSW for their support to Danielle over the years.
Arrangements are under the direction of Evans-Carter Funeral Home in High Springs, Fla. Services will be held at St. Madeleine Catholic Church, High Springs, on Friday, Feb. 14, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. followed immediately by a luncheon reception in the church fellowship hall.

David Schoenfield (1:20 PM)
Sorry .. I'll be here at 1:30 ET
David Schoenfield (1:28 PM)
Apologies for the delay. Was working on something and lost track of time.
dc (dc)
So, the O's?
David Schoenfield (1:29 PM)
I think they're going to make it. They survived that Yankees/Rays/A's gauntlet and now get the Mariners, Red Sox, Blue Jays and Red Sox before finishing up in Tampa. Only question: Will it be a division title or wild card?
Dan (LA)
Hey David, I just bought tickets to the theoretical 1st ALDS Angels home game. Did I just waste $5 on that processing charge?
David Schoenfield (1:30 PM)
I'm going with yes.
Alex (OH)
Do you think the Reds starters are running out of gas? This whole not missing a start thing for all five of them could come back to bite them perhaps?
David Schoenfield (1:32 PM)
History says September record doesn't mean a whole lot. They haven't been overworked (nobody has pitched 200 innings yet, although Cueto will get there), so I don't think that should be an issue/blame. Not too worried, although you'd certainly like to see Cueto get a good start or two in before the playoffs.
eric (miami)
Do you see the Braves winning their one game wild card game whether its against the Cardinals or Dodgers?
David Schoenfield (1:33 PM)
With Medlen likely going, I think they'd be the favorite. But anything can happen, of course, and if you're facing a Clayton Kershaw, it's not much more than 50/50. But the Braves are the best team of the three.
Jim (Brooklyn)
The Rays should move to brooklyn. It really only doesnt make sense because of territory rights, but honestly, how great would a queens vs bronx vs brooklyn rivalry be? how about a new brooklyn team being rivals with the dodgers and giants as well.its a win/win for baseball.
David Schoenfield (1:33 PM)
New York SHOULD have a third team. More likely in New Jersey, but the size of the metro area would support a third team better than Tampa does.
Alex (Anaheim)
Would you be worried about Sabathia heading into October?
David Schoenfield (1:35 PM)
A little, yes, since we know he's battled a couple minor injuries this year. He hasn't been terrible lately (3.93 ERA over five starts since returning from second DL stint) but not CC-like either.
Tarek (NYC)
Yankees vs A's one game Wildcard game. Who it be the revenge of the 2000-01 A's?
David Schoenfield (1:36 PM)
Just don't let Jeremy Giambi anywhere near the ballpark.
Adam (Toronto)
Is Kris Medlen legit? His changeup is devastating, but with a pitcher his size, is he ready to come back down to earth or can he be a top end starter going forward?
David Schoenfield (1:37 PM)
I don't see why not. Lincecum has been a successful starter despite his short stature. Baseball people will say they'll worry about injuries, but that's true for any pitcher. Not saying he'll be a Halladay-like workhorse, but I'd be comfortable leaving him in the rotation next year for 200 innings.
Zack (Catonsville, MD)
Why did they use head-to-head record to determine the location of the wild card game as opposed to better record? If every other playoff seeding is based on record, why not this one. Right now, it doesn't matter, but let's say the O's end up with a better record than the A's; they still have to go out to Oakland?
David Schoenfield (1:38 PM)
No, better record still hosts. Head-to-head is the first tiebreaker if the teams finish with the same record.
Turner (Boise, ID)
Ok, as an M's fan, I can say I'm pretty happy with the results of this year. They did the one thing I hoped, letting the albatross of Ichiro move on to different pastures. The pitching looks great, especially the bullpen with power arms. Ackley has started to show signs of looking like the player he needs to be and Seager is a very pleasant surprise. What moves do you think they need to make during the offseason to help the momentum?
David Schoenfield (1:39 PM)
Another starter, especially if they don't sign Iwakuma. A first baseman. At least one corner outfielder with power and on-base skills.
ZK (London, England)
Touchy issue for sure, but what should happen to Yunel Escobar? Keith Law said on Twitter yesterday he'd support a ROS suspension but I think that might be going a bit far. Maybe five games and a fine?
David Schoenfield (1:42 PM)
I think the *Blue Jays* would be wise to suspend him for the rest of the season, even if MLB doesn't. Although I suppose the players' union would fight that. Major League Baseball is an entertainment product and you can't have one of your players insulting a percentage of your customers, even if his intent was (arguably) not to offend.
Biagio (HWarriors)
Why is everyone talking about RA Dickey for the NL Cy Young? I know he's a good story, but Gio Gonzalez has been the better pitcher, and he's pitching for a contender. I know that team wins don't necessarily mean you win the individual award, but when all things are equal, the player in the middle of the race should win. Gio is 19-8 with 196K in 186IP and he should win the NL CY YOUNG.
David Schoenfield (1:44 PM)
Dickey has more K's, 26 more innings, a lower WHIP and higher WAR. And he didn't get to pitch against the Mets. I'm not sure you can make a case for Gonzalez OVER Dickey. Cy Young has always been more of an individual award than MVP, where team record *does* come into play.
Jeremy (Mississippi)
Do think Mike Trout's season or Rickey Henderson's MVP season is the best ever by a leadoff hitter?
David Schoenfield (1:46 PM)
Great question. Rickey led AL that year in OPS and steals (65 for 75). 28 HRs. 119 runs (led league). Looks like Rickey's season as a hitter only was better, so I'll give him the edge. Factor in defense, and Trout maybe gets a very slight edge. And we could be missing somebody else ...
John (Cincinnati, OH)
When Moneyball came out, it seemed Billy Beane became overrated. Was he in fact underrated the whole time?
David Schoenfield (1:48 PM)
The thing a like to note is the A's have never hit rock bottom, so Beane never gets those very high draft picks that make it easier (in some regards) to re-load. He never had his shot to draft a David Price or Stephen Strasburg. So, yes, I still think he's one of the better GMs in the game.
Marty (Fairfield, CT)
Hi Dave. It doesnt seem like any team wants to grab that second NL wildcard. who's your pick? I've gotta think its the Cards with their track record of september/october success.
David Schoenfield (1:49 PM)
I'm stick sticking with the Cards as well. Next nine against Astros and Cubs. Finish with Nationals and Reds, but those teams may be resting some guys by then.
Aaron (Atlanta)
Question about the new playoff format: I understand the goal of rewarding the division winners and providing extra incentive of not having to play in the one-game playoff for the Wild Card. But even if you win the division, you have to play the first two Division series games on the road! It seems as though the new format punishes everyone. It punishes the Wild Card by putting them into a one-game crapshoot and it punishes the Division winner by sending them on the road to open the playoffs.
David Schoenfield (1:50 PM)
That 2-3 format is a one-year thing since they didn't decide on the extra wild card until after the postseason dates had already been scheduled. So they had to eliminate the extra travel day to squeeze in the extra game. Next year it will go back to 2-2-1.
Mike (San Diego)
Ichiro had a couple decent years as a leadoff hitter...
Rickey (Rickey's House)
Rickey thinks Rickey was the best, but kindly do not forget Ichiro or Freddy Lynn in the equation.
David Schoenfield (1:51 PM)
Ichiro didn't have the power of Rickey or Trout, so purely as a hitter, I'm not sure he's quite on their level. Lynn wasn't a leadoff hitter.
Brandon (RI)
If two players have identical WAR, one on a 100 win team, the other on a 60 win team, isn't the 60 win team player more valuable to his team?
David Schoenfield (1:53 PM)
I see what you're saying, but the quality of your teammates doesn't really affect your value. If you hit 40 home runs and the rest of your teammates hit 60 does that make it more valuable than a guy who hits 40 home runs and the rest of his teammates hit 100? No, it's still 40 home runs.
Christopher (TN)
Ever notice that baseball writers insist an MVP be from a contender, but then when it comes for the HOF ballot, they count up all the MVP votes as an accurate reflection of his individual talents?
David Schoenfield (1:55 PM)
What, inconsistency from the BBWAA? You mean like voting in Gaylord Perry (cheater) but not alleged steroids users?
Todd (Philly)
How much should Dickey's back to back one hitters account for his candidacy? I feel like that is when he turned into "the story" of the summer and it almost feels forgotten in some of the arguments for Cy Young...
David Schoenfield (1:56 PM)
Personally, if it's close between players, I do like to look at dominant performances. Not sure that he gets extra credit for them being back-to-back, but I'm OK with extra credit for the performances themselves.
Chris (KC)
I abhor the sorts of slurs that Escobar appears to be guilty of, but how can baseball justify suspending him? They didn't suspend Delmon Young for making criminal gay slurs. They didn't suspend Gordon Beckham for spelling out the words "Getz is Gay" in the infield dirt at US Cellular Field during a White Sox / Royals game last year.
David Schoenfield (1:58 PM)
Wasn't familiar with the Beckham incident. Interesting. Young's incident could be perceived as being different since it happened off the field. But I'm guessing it *will* be difficult for MLB to suspend him. Will the union risk the bad publicity if it fights this one? That's the question. In the end, maybe the Jays just send him home for the season (with pay).
ZK (London, England)
As a Liverpool Football Club fan - and also a Red Sox fan - I wonder if Fenway Sports Group's divided loyalties have contributed to Boston's downfall this year. Is there a case to be made that it's not all Bobby V and Ben Cherington? Could upper management have stopped the rot earlier when they were maybe focussing on things in England rather than in Boston?
David Schoenfield (2:01 PM)
Well, the baseball operations side isn't going to be involved with Liverpool, so I have hard time seeing where that could be issue. I could be wrong, of course, but once the team's budget is put in place, the money guys sort of stay out of the way.
Brandon (RI)
Dave, your thoughts on a RP for Cy Young? I get the impression Jayson Stark is trying to make a statement because his (good) idea of RP of the year award was dismissed.
David Schoenfield (2:03 PM)
I agree with Jayson that it's a good idea. Personally, I'm not a big believer in relievers for Cy -- they just don't pitch the innings that starters do. And their value is overrated. For example, as of a couple days, there had been just 95 games lost when a team led going into the ninth. That's an average of three per team. So most teams have closers that protect nearly every lead.
David Schoenfield (2:04 PM)
Now, Kimbrel has been so impressive/dominating that I'd probably consider him for a down-the-ballot slot if I had a vote.
Shawn (DC)
Despondent Tigers fan, though I should have seen this coming with all our flaws -- everything really did ned to go right for the Tigers to win. That being said, what happens now, does this team implode in the off season and is Leyland gone? If so, who replaces him?
David Schoenfield (2:07 PM)
Sad thing is: Cabrera, Fielder, Verlander and Jackson have been great. I saw this team as an 88-team before the season, so the results aren't really all that surprising. Not sure why Dombrowski couldn't see it coming. I don't think they blow it up. They need to find a shortstop and second basemen who can play defense and ... as Buster Olney hinted at the other day ... maybe they go after Josh Hamilton. How about a Hamilton/Cabrera/Fielder/Victor Martinez middle of the order?
Alex (DC)
justin verlander is 2 years away from free agency, do you think hell break the record for a pitchers contract when he hits it after 2014? 7 years/ 185 million?
David Schoenfield (2:07 PM)
Felix Hernandez hits free agency the same year. One of them will break it.
Tarek (NYC)
Rickey's 1985 was better than Trout's season this year (just going from Memory).
David Schoenfield (2:08 PM)
Good point, his 1985 may have been than his 1990 MVP season. 146 runs in 143 games that year. Wow.
brad (nj)
Can we finally stop with all the MVP/CY Young argument nonsense. MVP/Cy Young DOES NOT MATTER!! It is MEANINGLESS!!!! Yet fans go on and on get angry, fight, yell over a stupid award that means nothing. The only thing that matters is wins and losses and who wins the final game of the year, please end all this MVP talk, it is a waste of everyones time.....
Marty (Fairfield, CT)
Celebrating RPs is like giving a participation award. 'Thanks for playing! Sorry you weren't good enough to make the rotation!'
Andrew (Toronto)
As a Jays fan, I'd be for sending Escobar home, too. The slur makes him look foolish, and he's been calling off teammates on infield flies when they've been parked under the ball all season. Vizquel and Lawrie shot him some pretty evil looks over the past month. Give him time to grow up.
David Schoenfield (2:10 PM)
It will be interesting to see what the Jays do. His contract is so team-friendly -- $5M per year for the next three (includes two team options) -- you hate to give up on him. On the other hand, he has a .295 OBP and all those other issues you mention.
billy (vegas) [via mobile]
If the braves dont resign bourn, then who do they go after in free agency or make a trade with. they seem to have a bunch of pitching depth
David Schoenfield (2:12 PM)
There are a lot of outfielders in this free agent market. Bourn, Hamilton, B.J. Upton, Melky, Victorino, Swisher, Angel Pagan. So if they let go Bourn go, I could see them going after a less-expensive option like Pagan.
Andrew (Toronto)
Maury Wills in 62 was a pretty sweet season by a leadoff man...
eric (sf)
Giants Nl favorite right now, given there experience?
David Schoenfield (2:15 PM)
One thing I noticed about them: Their starters have a 5.07 ERA this month. Even if you take out Vogelsong, who has been awful, they're not exactly clicking like they were in 2010. I actually like the way the Braves are playing now, with Medlen and Minor dealing and Kimbrel closing, but they're going to have to deal with that one-game playoffs. So I'd say the Nationals are probably the betting favorite.
Jason (Nashville, TN)
The Royals should have a line-up full of budding young stars between Perez, Moustakis, Myers, Gordon and Hosmer if he makes a comeback. Do you think they might make a run at Greinke?
David Schoenfield (2:15 PM)
They SHOULD. Will they be willing to spend the $100 million or so it will take to sign him? Unlikely.
billy (vegas) [via mobile]
Did u really suggest that the braves would take another chance on melky. they need a leadoff man, not a cheater. besides he wore out his welcome in atlanta
David Schoenfield (2:17 PM)
No, I didn't say that. I just listed him as one of the free agent outfielders. Pagan would be a nice fit, but he'd be a nice fit in a lot of places, including a return to San Fran.
Tom (ATL)
I would just like to say, I am glad that the Braves got rid of Yunel. They knew he was simply a bad person, not a good teammate and not someone the fans wanted to root for.
brad (nj)
Dave, has anyone tried to come up with an advanced statistic for manager effciency/proficiency, for example total team WAR divided by team wins, to see how good a manager has turned talent into wins?
David Schoenfield (2:18 PM)
Good question. Bill James had devised a formula where he gave a manager credit for wins above or below a team's expected record, but I can't recall how he devised expected record. Some guys will keep of a manager's W-L record compared to a team's Pythagoren record (expected record based on runs scored and allowed).
David Schoenfield (2:21 PM)
For example, the Orioles are 11 games better than their Pythagorean record, so Buck Showalter would be credited with a +11 on his ledger. But there are obvious flaws to that method.
Tom (LA)
FYI - Trout has the highest Rookie WAR (according to Fangraphs) in modern baseball.
David Schoenfield (2:22 PM)
Right, but that includes his defense. I think in evaluating him strictly as a hitter, Rickey's best leadoff seasons are better. I'll work up a post on this at some point. Tim Raines had some good years in there we should look at as well.
Jeff (NY)
This is such an exciting time for MLB, with so much talent under 25. I love watching these kids play?especially Trout, Harper, and Bumgarner. Which under-25 do you think will take the biggest leap forward next year?
David Schoenfield (2:25 PM)
Hmm, good question. A couple names that pop into my head: Brett Lawrie, Jesus Montero, Eric Hosmer, Anthony Rizzo.
Even though the Dodgers and the Red Sox have basically agreed that the two PTBNL will be Jerry Sands and Rubby de la Rosa, couldn't the Dodgers use both of them currently? Is there a gentlemens agreement prohibiting them from doing so?
David Schoenfield (2:26 PM)
Good question. The answer is, yes, since both are on the 40-man roster. So there must be a gentleman's agreement. Hadn't thought of that.
Marty (Fairfield, CT)
Dave, many of your peers and colleagues (even Karabell!) want to dismiss the importance of Run Differential because of the O's this year. To me, Baltimore this year is just a statistical outlier, and anomaly. Where do you stand on the value of this statistic?
brad (NJ)
And can we tell all those whiny O's fans that keep saying that ESPN should stop bringing up their run differential, that is IS VERY IMPORTANT stat, is shows that they have been very lucky and are not this good of a team. That is a fact, their hitting is horrible, their SP is one of the worst in baseball and their bullpen is good. They are not a good team and have just gotten luck, proven by their run differential!!!!
David Schoenfield (2:29 PM)
Brad, you seem a little full of energy today. My take on the Orioles: This is not the same team it was in April, May and June. Hunter, Matusz and Arrieta are no longer in the rotation. Look, would I pick them to win the East next year? Probably not. But it's a good club right now.
David Schoenfield (2:31 PM)
For example, since July 17, the O's are 37-20 with +43 run differential. There's nothing flukey about what has happened over that span.
Jonathan (Detroit)
Do you seriously think the Tigers would go after Hamilton? I know Mr. I wants to win bad, but that might be bordering on insanity.
David Schoenfield (2:33 PM)
Buster laid out some good reasons why, namely that not a lot of teams will want the risk on Hamilton or want to spend that kind of money. The Dodgers are locked in with Crawford/Kemp/Ethier in the outfield. The Mariners have money and room in the OF, but would he want to play in Safeco? The Angels have are glutted with outfielder/DH types. And so on. It makes some sense and the Tigers ... well, they came out of nowhere to sign Prince, so you never know.
Mike (San Diego)
Well if we're changing the rules to just look at hitting, Brady Anderson in 1996 was impressive.
MVP Voter (The Bar)
RIckey's Runs in 1985 mean nothing! We all know it is the man who drove him in that counts- grounding out with a man on third and less than two outs is much more important than a getting a walk...
Tarek (NYC)
If the O's win the WS this year. Brad (NJ) head will explode.
Matt (Boise)
Do you think it's "unfair" that the Braves will likely finish 5-10 games above the 2nd wild card team but will a single game determine if they make the "real" playoffs?
David Schoenfield (2:36 PM)
That's the argument against the second wild card and why I was initially against it. I guess Bud Selig's comment is simply: "Win your division then." I see both sides, but in the end it does cheapen the playoffs. One reason, in my opinion, that World Series TV ratings have gone down is the perception that it's not only the best two teams playing, but two random teams who just happened to survive the postseason.
brad (NJ)
So they dont just have a few hot players that are playing above their head, like Reynolds, who is a horrible player? They dont have anyone SP better than a #4 SP. Would you bet $1000 that they finish better than 4th place next year, behind NYY, Tor, TB?
David Schoenfield (2:37 PM)
Next year is irrelevant to 2012, however. Where the Yankees any good in 2000? They had the FIFTH-best record in the AL that year. They only made the playoffs because the AL East was so weak. Maybe that's not the best argument (since the Yankees were good the next year), but you get my point. The O's can win it all now and that's all that matters.
City of Brotherly Love (Philly)
Any chance of the Phillies catching the Cardinals for the 2nd wild card spot?
David Schoenfield (2:38 PM)
I think they blew their chances by losing 3 of 4 to the Astros.
Matt (Boise)
A way to settle the argument of a reliever winning the Cy Young. If the Tigers put Verlander in the bullpen and asked him to only throw 80-95 innings a year he would be absolutely unhittable during those innings. But he has more value to the team throwing 200+ innings with slightly worse peripherals since he can't throw 100mph on every one of his fastballs.
David Schoenfield (2:38 PM)
Tom (LA)
FYI - Offensively (wRC+), Trout is tied with Ted Williams and Albert Pujols as rookies.
Tarek (NYC)
Best leadoff season was whoever hit 1st for the Bad news bears? Tried to look it up but couldn't find it.
David Schoenfield (2:39 PM)
Had to be Tanner, no?
Jon (DC)
Speaking of best seasons of all time, Harper is about to post the highest WAR by a teenager ever. I really don't want to take anything away from Trout, but to this point about how crazy it is for even a great 19 year old (like Trout) to perform, Trout really struggled at age 19.
David Schoenfield (2:40 PM)
It is crazy. I was lucky enough to be living in Seattle when Griffey came up at 19. Harper is certainly similar.
James (Baltimore)
What do you think the AL East is going to look like next year? I'm obviously extremely excited about the way the Orioles have played this year, but I'm not sure they can carry this success over to next season if the Red Sox and Rays get back on track. The division is definitely weaker this year than in past years. What moves do the O's need to make in the offseason? Also, brad from new jersey is bitter about something. Might want to figure out what it is
David Schoenfield (2:43 PM)
I mentioned this briefly when I wrote about miracle teams yesterday: The Orioles aren't a particularly *young* team, which is usually the case when a team shows big improvement. They're not old, but it's like they improved because of a bunch of 23- to 25-year-olds. And bullpens can be volatile from year to year. So I do think there are doubts about their staying power. (Although they will be adding full-time Manny Machado and eventually Dylan Bundy.)
Matt (Boise)
It's unfair to compare 19 year old Trout to 19 year old Harper due to the start difference in sample size. Who's to say if Trout had 500 ABs last year he wouldn't have had similiar numbers. People forget that Harper was horrible for a month and there was talk of sitting him against lefties.
Alex (OH)
It would seem that more starters could make the transition to reliever than that other way around I think. Look at Feliz, Bard, etc.
David Schoenfield (2:43 PM)
A lot of great closers were failed starters.
Sean (Colorado)
To Brad- do the Yankees have a pitcher besides CC better than a #4? And CC hasn't exactly been worthy of his "ace" status in awhile. Don't be a hater because it doesn't fit your pretty definition. The efforts by more than a few pitchers and hitters can't be ignored.
Stu (Chicago IL)
Tanner Boyle wasn't afraid to take one in the ribs for the team.
David Schoenfield (2:44 PM)
Exactly. Had to be the leadoff guy!
Deann (Milwaukee, WI)
If any team were to leap frog the Cardinals and Dodgers it would be the Brewers, right?
David Schoenfield (2:45 PM)
My preseason pick to win the NL! Can you guarantee no more blown saves?
sam (nyc)
what about darrin erstad's great leadoff season? And he was a gold glover.
Mike (Detroit)
It's hard as a Tigers fan to not have the team dead and buried atm. Is thier remaining schedule the one pulse of life they have left?
David Schoenfield (2:47 PM)
Maybe. White Sox do have Angels and Rays, but also six games against Cleveland. It's going to hard to catch Chicago at this point.
Matt (Boise)
The greatest closer of all time (Mo Rivera) was a failed starter.
Tarek (NYC)
If it was tanner, he did have the best lead-off season ever. Got into a fight for Lupus and told the Yankees to take that apology and trophy and shove it! Awesome.
sam (nyc)
I think Erstad had 240 hits, & his 100 RBI from the leadoff spot is a record.
David Schoenfield (2:48 PM)
He did hit leadoff that year. Would rank right up there, although that was in the heart of the big-offense era, so he doesn't rank as high among league leaders in OBP/SLG like Trout and Rickey.
Chris (KC)
Re Verlander, I wouldn't be so sure that he would dominate airing it out in relief. Look what happened when he aired it out for one inning in the All Star Game.
Matt (Boise)
To Sean in Colorado...Hiroki Kuroda has been better than a #4 this year. If anything he's been better than CC.
Bill (Baltimore)
Do you think the Orioles will make a run at Hamilton in the off season? Aside from finding a reliable second baseman, the need for a true middle of the order hitter is definitely lacking and there aren't other options on the FA market. If not, who might you see them adding?
David Schoenfield (2:50 PM)
I do think the Orioles are a possibility. Not sure of their payroll situation and attendance has been a little disappointing, so there may not be room to add much salary.
Todd (Chicago)
Are the Pirates dead in this race?
David Schoenfield (2:50 PM)
They're on a ventilator.
TJ (Detroit)
I can see the Tigers in on Hamilton. Ilitch has a ton of money, the Tigers are drawing great this year, and Ilitch has never been shy about investing money from his teams in his teams. If Detroit stays competitive, the fans around here will come to the park and spend money to supprt the effort.
Sean (Colorado)
He has been better than CC but the O's have a handful of starters with similar numbers to Kuroda. Point being, it's not all smoke and mirrors and there's no reason to hate on them just because they aren't always pretty in winning.
David Schoenfield (2:52 PM)

New Danger Mouse album comes as blank CD-R
Music producer Danger Mouse shot to fame in 2004 with "The Grey Album" - a mashup of the Beatles' "The White Album" and Jay-Z's "The Black Album".
EMI, who owns the copyright for the Beatles' tracks, weren't too pleased as he hadn't asked permission. They ordered him and retailers carrying the album to immediately cease distribution.
His new album, Dark Night of the Soul, has run into similar legal problems. Although it's unclear what the exact issue is with the recording, it means that Danger Mouse is unable to release the record in a traditional manner.
Instead, he's offering a blank CD-R with the clear label: "For Legal Reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will". It comes packaged with either a poster or a limited-edition book of photos by director David Lynch.
The record itself is available for streaming on NPR's website, though it's unclear how long it'll remain available there. Many torrent and file-sharing sites are also offering the album for download, including the Pirate Bay.
The album features guest appearances from various indie/rock luminaries, including Jason Lytle, Iggy Pop, Frank Black, Julian Casablancas and Suzanne Vega.

text: Stills From SW19: Semifinal Thursday WTA Rising Stars Eugenie Bouchard and Simona Halep squared off in one Wimbledon semifinal, while Petra Kvitova and Lucie Safarova also faced off for a spot in the final. Published July 03, 2014 12:10 Fellow Czech lefties and friends Petra Kvitova and Lucie Safarova were similarly attired for their semifinal clash. Kvitova was very efficient on her net approaches Thursday, winning all five of them. Safarova was almost as productive when she came in, winning five of six points at the net. Competing in her first Grand Slam semifinal, Safarova pushed Kvitova to a first set tie-break. But Kvitova pulled out the tie-break and then cruised through the second set for a 7-6(6), 6-1 victory. The Fed Cup teammates shared a warm embrace at the conclusion of the match. Up next was World No.3 Simona Halep in her first Wimbledon semifinal against Eugenie Bouchard. Bouchard was the only player to compete in the semifinals in each of the year's first three Grand Slams. Each player broke serve once in a tight first set, but Bouchard won it in a tie-break. Twenty-year-old Canadian Bouchard fired 20 winners during the match. It was a muted celebration for Bouchard after converting on her sixth match point for a 7-6(5), 6-2 triumph.

Benefits rising twice as fast as salaries: Payments to unemployed jump by 20% in five years
- Jobseeker's Allowance up 20 per cent from £59.15 a week in 2007/08 to £71
- In the same five-year period wages only rose by 12 per cent
- Iana Duncan Smith said the system is not fair on workers
Welfare handouts to those languishing on the dole have risen almost twice as fast as average wages over the past five years.
Out-of-work benefits have jumped in value by an astonishing 20 per cent since 2007 while wages have crept up by just 12 per cent, official figures released last night reveal.
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said the figures proved that automatically increasing benefits by the rate of inflation, as has previously been the case, was 'not fair' on working people whose taxes fund the handouts.
No work pays off: Jobseeker's Allowance has risen by 20 per cent, from £59.15 a week in 2007 to £71
Ministers are now battling to reform the system and impose a 1 per cent cap on out-of-work benefit increases for the next three years, but face opposition from Labour.
Mr Duncan Smith said yesterday: 'Working people across the country have been tightening their belts after years of pay restraint while at the same time watching benefits increase. That is not fair.
'The welfare state under Labour effectively trapped thousands of families into dependency as it made no sense to give up the certainty of a benefit payment in order to go back to work.'
The disparity between those in work and those on welfare is laid bare by the figures from the Department for Work and Pensions.
While working families have faced a greater squeeze on their income from inflation, benefit claimants have been cushioned from the soaring cost of living by automatic inflation-linked rises in their payments.
'Not fair': Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said the new 1 per cent cap on jobseekers' handout increases was necessary to make the system fair towards taxpayers
Over the past five years, Jobseeker's Allowance rose by 20 per cent from £59.15 a week in 2007/08 to £71 in 2012/13.
Last year alone, out-of-work benefits rose by 5.2 per cent, while average earnings increased by 1.7 per cent – just one-third the rate.
Meanwhile, across the whole economy, weekly earnings went up from £392 in 2007 to £441 in 2012.
Ministers argue that the figures underline their case that Labour's welfare system provided a disincentive to claimants to take a job.
A new Universal Credit scheme, to be introduced in stages from April, will replace most existing out-of-work benefits and is designed to ensure that it always pays to work. Unifying taxes and benefits into one system, it will also prevent total benefits from exceeding the average wage.
The new figures will also strengthen the case for the Government's decision to cap benefit increases to 1 per cent.
Unfair increase: Whilst state handouts for jobless have risen by 20 per cent, wages are only up by 12 per cent since 2007
Chancellor George Osborne faced criticism from Labour and the unions for the decision, announced in his Autumn Statement last month. Labour has vowed to vote against the 1 per cent rise when the measure is debated in Parliament early this year.
But ministers insist it would be unaffordable to allow benefits to continue to outstrip wages, as well as unfair.
Private sector pay has stagnated during the recession, while the public sector has been subject to a three-year pay freeze.
Labour argues that the new benefits cap will hit millions of working families on low incomes whose tax credits will also be capped. The party's work and pensions spokesman, Liam Byrne, said the move would mean some part-time workers would be better off on benefits.
Mr Duncan Smith said the new Universal Credit system would ensure fairness, adding: 'This Government is restoring fairness to the system and Universal Credit will ensure it always pays to be in work.'
Mr Osborne is determined to shave a further £10billion from the welfare bill, on top of an £18billion reduction in benefits already in place, after a more downbeat than expected economic forecast.
The cost of increasing benefits in line with inflation since the 2008 recession has been £6.3billion. In 2009 alone, the Labour government raised means-tested benefits – not pensions – by 6.3 per cent.
Overall, more than £90billion is spent on working age welfare every year, the same as the entire education budget.

Villa San Michele - AnacapriGo to the top
"My home shall be open in order to let in the sun, and the wind, and the voices of the ocean, like a Greek temple, and there shall be light, light everywhere!"
Boasting an incredibly panoramic position on the north-eastern slopes of Anacapri, Villa San Michele was built by the Swedish physician and author, Axel Munthe, towards the end of the 19th century. The site, some 300 meters above sea level, was previously occupied by an ancient Roman villa, the remains of which can still be seen in the gardens.
Munthe constructed Villa San Michele so as to house his impressive collection of classical Roman, Etruscan and Egyptian artefacts, including a head of the Medusa, a marble bust of Emperor Tiberius, and an Egyptian sphinx.
The gardens of the villa, home to a great variety of Mediterranean plants and a charming little mediaeval chapel, which Munthe restored himself, are as beautiful as any of the exhibits inside the museum. From here, a magnificent view of the Bay of Naples can be seen.
The museum is open all year.

Pokémon Go! – Gotta Catch 'Em All!
The summer is here and it's time to go outside and enjoy the sunshine – or catch some little monsters. As Pokémon Go has become an overnight hit since its release less than two weeks ago, it may be good for kids and parents to get some background information. The game is fascinating and fun – but the first warnings on sites such as Common Sense and Medienratgeber 'Schaut Hin!' have already popped up, some for good reason.
Some advice on dealing the the Pokémon Go! phenomenon by NMS teacher and head of IT Annemieke Akkermans is below.
Farewell Greetings from the Head
Dear Parents, dear Colleagues, dear NMS Students,
It is time for me to say farewell and thank you for all the support, encouragement and kindness I have received over the past three years. Being the head of a school of this size and character can be a true challenge, but at no point have I been without the clear feeling that the community here is passionately committed to the special purpose and spirit of the school. To me, in hindsight, this is the strongest point about the Nelson Mandela School, and an asset that deserves as well as requires special attention and care – just as some of the student speakers adroitly explained it to me in a first meeting.
In my term, I have focused on the creation of structures – procedural and co-operational – so that the school would be able to stride along more smoothly after a phase of rapid growth. With the aim for more lateral responsibility and initiative, there are now more groups who self-confidently claim areas they want to take care of. With the question still open of who will be the new team of principals, it is comforting to see that the school has enough faculty members who are willing to step in and provide a transition leadership team.
In addition, they are privileged, as I have been myself, to be supported and propelled by the collaborative energy of our students and parents: my sincere thanks for their open minds, fairness and confidence.
I will take this Mandela spirit with me as a precious gift and cherish it as best I can.
With best wishes to the NMS and its community,
July 13, 2016
Christian Nitschke
Message from the Deputy Head
Dear Nelson-Mandela-Community,
After 10 years at Nelson Mandela School, I will begin another posting from the 31st of August 2016 as school principal of the Paula-Fürst-Schule in Berlin-Charlottenburg.
When I first began my duties as Deputy Principal of NMS in Kastanienallee, the spirit of Nelson Mandela School was still in development. Due to the different campuses throughout Berlin, the spirit of Nelson Mandela, which we now naturally know and celebrate as something obvious, only developed gradually: a sense of togetherness, courage to try out new ideas, active inclusion of new members (parents, students, and teachers) in this community, but also the strength to tolerate contradictions and the ability to openly address them. Simply put: a place to grow together amongst all the existing composite diversity.
It really humbles me, but also gives me great joy, that I was allowed to actively be a part of this growth.

In what world, do one set of extremes ever represent the best solution. In your own personal finances, are you always frugal or always spendy or do you change what you do based on the circumstances you face?
Sounds like you are saying that Republican ideas represent one extreme and Democratic ones represent another, and that there is a sensible moderate position that is in between these two extremes.
If that is what you are saying, you are wrong. Mainstream Democratic ideas (as represented by people like Obama and Clinton, not Sanders) are moderate. Democrats have actually learned from past policy failures; Republicans have not.
The Lonious Monk wrote: »He criticizes people getting shot /assaulted for not dressing like a GQ ad while they go about their daily lives....
The same people he made millions off of while dressed like one of them
I think ya'll are misrepresenting what he's saying. He's not really criticizing victims for how they dressed.
"When you think about some of the brothers who are being brutalized by the police, you also got to have them take a look, and us take a look, in the mirror, at the image we portray. If I'm a cop and every time I see a young black youth, whether I watch them on TV, movies, or just see them hanging out, and they're not looking properly dressed, properly refined, you know, carrying himself, conducting himself proper hours of the day—things that a man does, you're going to have a certain fear and stereotype of them," he espoused.
Here he's basically just saying that if every time you see a black male with a certain look, be it on tv or in real life, that male is always up to no good, it's only natural that some fear or stereotyping will arise from that. That's absolutely true and not even isolated to black people. As a white dude with a bald head that likes boots and camo if he's ever been mistaken for a Skinhead. That shit happens. He didn't say anywhere that people were wrong for dressing that way. He just said that if we push that image in a way that associates it with negativity, people will eventually come to stereotype everyone who fits that mold. Again, that is 100% true, right or wrong, that's the way of the world. Where I think he's wrong is that he seems to imply that we have more power in pushing that image than we actually do. While I agree the we do bear some of the blame (Ironically hardcore rapper are probably the worst culprits), the white media is far more responsible for promoting those negative stereotypes.
"I tell my sons, I say, if you're going somewhere, you don't have to wear a hoodie–we live in New York, so a hoodie and all that is all good. But sometimes, you know, button up your shirt. Clean up. Look like a young man. You're not a little kid, you know what I mean? I think that's another big issue we gotta pay attention to. Is the image that we portray that could invoke a fear into a white officer, or any officer," he continued.
For the most part, what he's saying here is not wrong either. Every responsible parent teaches their children this regardless of race. You think white people teach their kids to go into business meetings in whatever casual style of clothing white kids wear these days? Of course not, they teach their kids the same thing that there is a time and place for everything.
I'm not saying Rza is right. We have more than enough evidence out there to know that being well dressed does not save black people from police brutality, but ya'll are misrepresenting what he's saying just so you guys can go on the standard "coon rants" that you seem to love so much. He didn't say that Tamir Rice got shot because Rice was dressed like a thug. He said unfortunately certain images of black males have been put out there negatively and you have to know that if you put on that image it will attract negative attention. Right or wrong, that is 100% true. A lot of white people associate dreadlocks with thuggery. Does that mean blacks should stop wearing that hairstyle? Hell no. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with pointing out that it may attract some negative attention.
My post while shorter was synonymous to yours.
Problem is the majority only skimmed the thread title. Which is a total frabrication. But thats how these things work nowadays.

Does the Liquid Blending Rod Work
By Lynne
from Derry, NH
Comments about KitchenAid Stainless Steel Liquid Blender Rod:
I love my kitchen aid hand mixer, but have not had success with the Liquid Blending Rod. I end up using my mixer. I am wondering if I am using it incorrectly, but in the directions, there are none for the blending rod. I guess I will continue to use my blender. I would recommend the mixer, not the blending rod.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I've tried this blending rod a number of times, it doesn't work. Hot soups, cold shakes - it does nothing to the food. No smoothing or breaking down of any kind. Disappointing because I've used them in the past, and with the power of this mixer it could be a great tool!
