LA Set to Host 2026 World Cup Games, North American Trio Beats Morocco
(AP/KNX1070) - North America will host the 2026 World Cup after FIFA voters overwhelmingly opted Wednesday for the financial and logistical certainty of a United States-led bid over a risky Moroccan proposal for the first 48-team tournament.
The soccer showpiece will return to the U.S. for the first time since 1994 after gaining 134 votes, while Morocco got 65 at the FIFA Congress in Moscow, where the 2018 tournaments starts on Thursday.
"Thank you for entrusting us with this privilege," U.S. Soccer Federation President Carlos Cordeiro told the congress. "The beautiful game transcends borders and cultures."
U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted after the victory : "Congratulations, - a great deal of hard work!"
The U.S., together with Mexico and Canada, just got the World Cup. Congratulations - a great deal of hard work!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 13, 2018
While Trump has been feuding with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over tariffs and policy after the G-7 meeting and with Mexican leaders about his proposed border wall, the heads of state are not heavily involved in this World Cup bid. Even if Trump wins re-election, his presidency would end before the 2026 World Cup.
The vote by national football federations was public, in contrast to secrecy surrounding the 2010 vote when FIFA's elected board members picked Russia to host in 2018 and Qatar in 2022, defeating the U.S.
The regional bid proved more appealing this time and the North Americans even collected 11 votes from Africa.
"The United bid was strong and if it was just the United States, I think Morocco would have beaten them," said Cameroon federation official Kevin Njomo, whose country voted for Morocco. "People have a soft spot for Mexico, especially looking at Mexico as a little bit under-developed and giving them a chance. Canada is a good tourist destination.
"But I think where it had the advantage was the World Cup would be more profitable in America and it is a capitalist world."
North America is optimistically promising to deliver $14 billion in revenue helped, while the tournament won't require major construction work required on the 16 planned stadiums, all of which already exist.
The U.S. proposed staging 60 out of the 80 games in 2026, when 16 teams will be added to the tournament, leaving Canada and Mexico with ten fixtures each. But FIFA President Gianni Infantino suggested the split of games could change.
"They have made a decision among themselves but ultimately it will be up to FIFA to decide," Infantino said.
Morocco appeared too hazardous as a potential host when all 14 venues had to be built or renovated as part of a $16 billion investment in new infrastructure. The vote leaves Morocco reeling from a fifth failure in a World Cup hosting vote, with the continent's sole tournament coming in 2010 in South Africa.
While Morocco's combined tickets and hospitality revenue projected to be $1.07 billion, according to FIFA analysis, North America would generate $2 billion more.
Canada will host men's World Cup matches for the first time, while Mexico gets its first taste of the event since 1986.
"To have a message coming from football that says actually Mexico, Canada and the United States together can organize the biggest sporting and social event together," Infantino said. "It is a nice message."
The 87,000-capacity MetLife Stadium outside New York — home of the NFL's Giants and Jets — is proposed for the final. It's just miles from where federal prosecutors spearheaded an ongoing investigation into FIFA corruption. More than 40 soccer officials and businesses indicted, convicted or pleaded guilty.
The bribery scandal put the governing body on the brink, Infantino told the congress ahead of Wednesday's vote.
"FIFA was clinically dead as an organization," Infantino said, reflecting on his election in 2016 before announcing plans to another four-year term in 2019. "Two years later, FIFA is alive and well, full of joy and passion and with a vision for its future."
The North American victory suggests current FIFA leaders don't hold grudges against a country whose government has jailed corrupt sports leaders.
"When they help us fight against corruption, of course, we are pleased," Infantino said.
The North America bid also had to overcome concerns about the impact of policies from the Trump administration, including attempts to implement a ban on travel by residents of six majority-Muslim countries.
FIFA now has the final say on which cities are selected to host games and whether all three countries are guaranteed a place at the tournament. Victor Montagliani, the Canadian who leads CONCACAF, wants them to take three of the seven guaranteed qualification slots reserved for the region as host. Both the United States and Canada failed to qualify for this year's World Cup.
There is also a chance to send an eighth team via an inter-continental playoff. North America will host the six-team playoff tournament in November 2025 to decide the last two places in the 48-team lineup.
First the Olympics, now the World Cup is coming back to L.A. The World Cup Final was held at the Rose Bowl back in 1994. Los Angeles Times reporter Kevin Baxter was in Moscow for the big announcement and tells KNX that it looks like games will be played at the Rose Bowl and the NFL stadium currently under construction in Inglewood:
Soccer expert Roger Bennett says the FIFA award will have a dramatic impact:
The U.S. men's team failed to qualify for this year's World Cup which starts in Russia Thursday.

U.s. State Department Press Release On The Entrepreneurship Delegation Traveling To Turkey
Entrepreneurship Delegation Traveling to Turkey
Media Note
Office of the Spokesperson
Washington, DC
May 25, 2012
The U.S. Department of State's Global Entrepreneurship Program (GEP) will lead a delegation of American entrepreneurs and early-stage investors to Turkey May 29 to June 2. The delegation will be led by the State Department's Special Representative for Commercial & Business Affairs, Lorraine Hariton. In Istanbul, delegates will judge the "Showcase of the Best of the Best of Turkey's Entrepreneurs," a business plan competition featuring 32 Turkish start-ups. Delegates will also participate in other events and meetings with Turkish entrepreneurs and investors.
The U.S. delegation and business plan competition are part of GEP-Turkey, which is a joint effort between the U.S. Department of State, the Economic Policy Research Foundation of Turkey (TEPAV), and the Union of Turkish Chambers of Commerce (TOBB). The objective of GEP-Turkey is to promote the growth of entrepreneurship in Turkey by working with partners from the private sector, civil society, and the government.
As Secretary Clinton has said, "We are promoting entrepreneurship, because new businesses mean more jobs, faster growth, and greater innovation. We are spearheading new initiatives to bring together government officials, leaders from the private sector, and young entrepreneurs who have the vision and drive to succeed in the 21st century global economy."
Secretary Clinton announced the creation of the Global Entrepreneurship Program at the Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship, held in Washington, D.C., in 2010. Previous delegations led by the Global Entrepreneurship Program have connected American investors with entrepreneurs in Algeria, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia.

The Unpublished Author's Website
Do you need a website or not? Welcome to the twenty-first century–yes you need a website!
Consider your website part of your manuscript-marketing arsenal even if you're unpublished. Having a website shows potential agents and editors that you're serious about a career as a writer. It's the twenty-first century version of a business card. Be honest, don't you search the web to validate a company you're doing business with? What is your opinion of that business if they have a less than professional site or no site at all?
Starting a website is an inexpensive way to give your work credibility. So what should an unpublished author include in their website?
Index–commonly called your home page. This can be a quick welcome telling people what your site is all about. Update your home page with all your latest and greatest writing news.
Bio–a short page about your background and writing history. Interject your passion for your art on this page.
Publishing History— – Clips of articles you've written, etc. No matter how insignificant you think it is, a publishing credit is a publishing credit.
My Books Page–give a short synopsis of the projects you are currently marketing. If you'd like you can include a short excerpt for each manuscript. Include an awards or accolades for each manuscript–this is where unpublished contests can really pull their weight.
Blog Link–your own blog is a great way to drive traffic to your website and creates a back link to your site, which is important for search engines.
Contact Me–give an agent or editor a way to get in touch with you. Believe it or not, I've sent out a query by mail and thanks to my site's tracking ability I was able to determine that their request for more information came from my website.
Last but not least offer something to keep people coming back–articles, humor, giveaways, book reviews.
This is obviously a simple website. You can add or subtract as you would like. If your books have a lead character whose a chef, a quilter, or some other profession you can add a tie in on your website and offer recipes, a quilt pattern, etc.
Use the web to put your best foot forward. That way by the time you receive "the call" your website will already be established in search engines and you will have traffic flowing to your site.

I just bought a new laptop and I can't get it to connect to the internet. Do I need some kind of seperate service or a router or something?
At least you need to subscribe DSL or Cable broadband service, so that can connect your laptop to Internet directly.
If you already got DSL/Cable broadband connection, you can get a router to set up wired or wireless network, so that more computers could access to internet by using that single DSL/Cable broadband connection.
Hope this helps.

Reed warbler (Credit: iStockphoto/Iurii Konoval)
Eurasian reed warblers captured during their spring migrations and released after being flown 1,000 kilometers to the east can correct their travel routes and head for their original destinations.
The new evidence suggests that the birds have true navigation, meaning that they can identify at least two coordinates that roughly correspond to geographic latitude and longitude.
The findings challenge the notion held by some that birds might be limited to navigation in the north-south direction. But scientists still don't know how they do it.

Cheated by amazon and GATI
Order id 171-7655643-6105941
I placed this order on 6th October and today is 31st October, I am a Prime Member , the order was Prime fulfilled as well as amazon fulfilled.
Some part of the order was sent by GATI and some part by other couriers. The part sent by GATI was undelivered till today. They extended the date of delivery again and again and now asking me to come over them to collect the order with is not less that 70 KMs
Since one week, the courier is lying about the status of the delivery and I made 4 complaints. Nobody is putting effort to solve the issue, all are lying, everyone is just escalating and understanding the situation after that forwarding to higher authority. But no such real action has been taken.
A courier service has the audacity to update wrong information that the order is on hold as per customer request and when I contact amazon they takes no action, already one week over, delivery timeline was also over but nobody takes responsibility.
This implies amazon customer service proved its customer as a liar, as no action was taken or the status of the order was not modified as amazon could able to deliver on time, instead you are making a false claim that the customer asked for delayed delivery???
Courier calls up and asked the customer to travel 70KM to take the prepaid order?? how ridiculous !!! and after informing amazon customer care they sits idle and makes a bunch of copy paste false promise.
This is not the first incident with GATI courier, I made several complaints to amazon customer service but nobody bothers, I requested many times not to send courier through GATI but nobody bothers.
Part of the same order was sent by different courier but you guys will never change and end up sending some part using GATI. great .. if I ask you will make some false promises, ask for apology and will assure that it wont happen next time.. this is amazon nowadays.
I wondered why nowadays people lost trust on amazon, now I can understand the real reason. If a Prime member can face this situation with amazon fulfilled order then I just cant imagine about the seller fulfilled orders. I was a frequent shopper from amazon and suggested many friends and family but now I am afraid to say that I have already moved towards other marketplaces.
Latest Update: They are returning the order, saying customer has refused to receive the delivery!!!! Strange people. I never received a phone call.
Why to tell lies, why cant you acknowledge your fault amazon cant fulfill the order, thats it. Why to blame the customer always.
Another mail received.
As I agreed for replacement they wont give it, issuing refund saying its not available with same seller !!!
Amazon Status:
31-OCT-2016 Customer refused delivery
25-OCT-2016 Delayed delivery on request
Courier status:
31-OCT-2016 Undelivered due to CUSTOMER /CONSIGNEE REFUSING TO ACCEPT DELIVERY
29-OCT-2016 Undelivered due to CUSTOMER NOT RESPONDING TO CALLS
Conclusion: amazon is no more customer friendly marketplace, full of cheaters.
So think twice before taking Prime membership as well as placing an order as amazon fulfilled orders are also not safe.
Thy cant fulfill on time, and full of lies.

Every few months, I make a beauty purchase that I make my go-to when dressing up. I admit, my make-up routine has become pretty standard despite the event, and is often the same make up for school, work, and going out. I make sure to make my "going out" looks stand out from my everyday by incorporating something new each month.
Sometimes I like to spice things up with a primary colored eyeliner or flashy glitter nail polish. But with the months warming up, less is more when it comes to make up. I like to keep my look simple and subtle in the summer with basic bronzer and mascara. I like to keep my eye shadows between cream and bronze and rarely add color… except for my lips!
Summer is a perfect time to add a pop of color to the "natural look" with vibrant lipstick! The runways were instantly brightened by reds, corals, pinks, and orange lipsticks. My favorite color is MACs' Russian Red (part of the Wonder Woman collection…. an instant MUST HAVE, since I'm obsessed with Wonder Woman). It easily works with rocker-chic leather shorts and nude pumps for night, as well as a beautiful contrast to a white summer dress.
Corals work on nearly all skin tone and can easily be coordinated with accessories. Orange tones look great when contrasted against the season's color: neutrals.
Be sure to keep lips moisturized this summer with an SPF lip balm and use a delicate face exfoliator as a prep. Using a matching lipliner will also keep bright lipsticks from bleeding onto your skin.

Great service, good time keeping and a very good job.
Was very impressed from start to finish with the communication and the work.
Professional electricians, would recommend to other people. Thank you for the service.
Very professional, reliable and friendly electrician. After the work had been completed you would not have known Matt had been here, the house was left spotless. Needed my job completed urgently and Matt was able to juggle things around to fit me in. I would not hesitate in recommending Matt to anyone.
Matt was careful, concerned about detail, and cleared up thoroughly after he'd finished the job. Excellent. Will use Elec24/7 again when the need arises.
Mr Leeming, Warboys. 28th November 2016
Matt has carried out electrical work on my home for over 2 years and he is always reliable, trustworthy and friendly.
Nothing is too much trouble and he will tackle the job in hand with enthusiasm although a cup of tea always spurs him on!
He is always on time and will inform you in advance if he has been delayed .
He is always polite and a mine of information if you ever need another reliable trade to help with other jobs around the house!
If you want a job done well by an electrician who always has a smile on his face and has pride in his work then Matt at Elec247 is highly recommended.
Mr Bradbury, Warboys, Huntingdon. 2nd December 2016
I contacted Elec 24/7 following a recommendation, as I was looking for someone who could be trusted to do a complete job for a house with very dated electrics. I'm pleased to say that Matt from Elec 24/7 was highly professional in his approach, and was able to both diagnose and correct all the issues quickly and with minimal disruption. I am happy to endorse Elec 24/7, and recommend their services unreservedly.
Rob, Warboys, Huntingdon. October 2017
Matt responded to a call promptly and came that day to access and replace an outside security light. Excellent and efficient service and I would recommend him and use the company again .
Pam, Warboys, Huntingdon. 4th January 2018
I have been using Matt for about 3 years, he is always very polite, friendly & professional.
I had a problem with the electrics tripping in my garage over the Christmas period & I texted Matt, he said he was in Manchester but was coming home that day, he came round later that day to assess the problem & fixed it the next day.
Now that's what I would call a professional service & I would definitely recommend Elec 24/7 to anyone.
Ian, Humberdale Way, Warboys, Huntingdon. 8th January 2018
Matt was a great help at discussing our options with us. We are so pleased with our outside sensor lights. Matt was fantastic at arranging to see us promptly and getting the lights fitted without any delay. Very reliable and efficient. Would definitely recommend. Thank you 🙂
Elise & James, Sutton, Ely. January 2018
Matt from Elec 24/7 returned my phone call quickly to ascertain what electrical work was required and called later that day to inspect what was needed. A date was subsequently set for the work to be carried out. Matt arrived on time and undertook the work in an efficient and friendly manner, tidying up as he went. I would not hesitate in recommending Matt and will use him in the future.
Mr D based in Warboys. April 2018
I've recently had some electrical work completed by Matt from Elec 24/7. A new fuse board, bathroom extractor fan and wiring an outside shed for power. I can't recommend Matt highly enough, first and foremost he quoted fairly but very competitively, secondly was able to fit me into an already busy work schedule and finally provided an excellent, professional, thorough job. In this day and age where cowboy tradesmen are rife it is fantastic to find a tradesman that provides such a high level of service. Please consider using Matt and his company for any future electrical work.
Kind regards
Edd Scott. May 2018
I would happily recommend Matt from Elec 24/7 following work that I have just had completed. Very professional and easy to work with. D Wright.
David (Warboys) April 2019
"Matt from Elec24/7 changed my consumer unit, added external lights and completed all testing. He was very professional and reliable. The work looked great when finished and left clean. I will be recommending him to all my family and friends"
Mr Howard, Ramsey Forty Foot. September 2019
"Very friendly and efficient service. Very prompt in responding to my enquiry, just two days between the initial contact, quotation and work completion. I would highly recommend Matt for any of your household electronic needs. Would definitely use his services again in the future"
Thanks again Matt

ForeScout Technologies, Inc., the leading provider of pervasive network security solutions for Global 2000 enterprises and government organizations, today announced that it has significantly increased its presence in Europe with the additions of key personnel to bolster customer development and support in EMEA and the DACH sub-region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland). Beyond personnel, the company has further tiered services and benefits for Gold and Silver authorized resellers to fortify sales efforts. The expansion is in direct response to increased customer demand throughout the region to enhance network security, enable BYOD and advance continuous monitoring and mitigation capabilities.
"We have seen a dramatic increase in EMEA and the DACH sub-region for an easy-to-deploy, flexible and extensible network security platform that can deliver the necessary dynamic access and endpoint compliance oversight and threat response organizations require," said Louise Bulman, regional vice president, Sales, EMEA region, ForeScout. "ForeScout CounterACT is used by many European enterprises to reduce their security risk, meet compliance mandates and enable BYOD. Given the increased demand, we have increased our workforce to ensure that we are able to maintain a high level of service to our channel partners and their customers."
The new personnel represent sales, technical services, channel partner development and marketing additions, and include:
"I'm delighted to work with such an experienced team," added Bulman. "With this elite group, we'll be able to successfully achieve our long-term business and branch goals in EMEA and the DACH sub-region, and ensure the highest level of service to our partners."
ForeScout CounterACT™ is a pervasive network security platform that enables IT organizations to efficiently address network visibility, access control, endpoint compliance, mobile security and threat management challenges within today's complex enterprise networks. In addition, the company's ControlFabric architecture enables CounterACT to interoperate with other leading network, security and management systems to address a wide variety of operational issues and cyber threats. The extensibility of the platform provides significant professional service opportunity for system integrators to enhance implementation value and application as well as to enable their customers to better optimize security resource and infrastructure investments.
ForeScout also recently enhanced its two-tier channel program to further align services, support and sales advantages for its network of certified Gold and Silver reseller partners across Europe. The program is designed to ensure that partners are better equipped to support enterprise and government customers in terms of sales, technical sales resources, support and professional services and will be supported by recently added personnel. A newly launched partner portal expedites partner field communications and sales support, lead distribution and deal registration, and application for marketing funds. The two-tier program, which has revenue target and personnel certification requirements, offers broader tiered benefits which include: margins, allocation of evaluation units, dedicated ForeScout regional sales and technical support, lead generation and deal protection, training and Market Development Funds (MDF).
"With CounterACT and their ControlFabric technology, our customers can achieve real-time operational awareness, and be rest assured that their security investments are optimized," said Jez Turner, director of Sale at Foursys. "We couldn't be more pleased with the partnership we've built with ForeScout, and the improved channel program is only going to strengthen our relationship further."
"The CounterACT and ControlFabric solutions make it possible for our clients to achieve thorough visibility in real time during the operation of their systems," said Hannes Kuffner, CEO and sales manager of Protea Networks. "At the same time, interoperability with existing IT security resources enables previous investments in this area to be used optimally. We are very satisfied with the partnership that we've cultivated with ForeScout for many years – the new improved Channel program will strengthen and expand our relationships."

Summer's green light

Summer's green light

Patience is as sweet

Charity is evil –
the hardest truth of all;
our tribal nature is to share
but 'progress' builds a wall.
'Walks of life' – we utter
that euphemistic phrase;
we drop the coins; we take the piss;
then go our separate ways.
Do not look at the Sun
or, even less wise,
build a vessel to take you there.
But when it has a grey cloud singed
to re-enact the Story of the Dawn,
and the part of you as simple as a child
unwraps the gift of joy it brings,
recall that when no hope's in sight,
behind the darkness lies the light.
A little red robin
was chilled in the snow
as Christmas Day dawned
and the East was aglow.
No warm place for him,
no presents from people,
but all day he sang
from his perch on the steeple. Continue reading "A Christmas Song"
We dallied in a golden hour
When love was queen and still in power.
Now, the interregnum brings
Chaos, a return of rings,
Despair, disorder, a dream betrayed
Like Autumn leaves that fall and fade.
We were so young, but seasons turn
And all green leaves in time will burn.
The draining of a vast lung
in a cavernous mausoleum
at 2am. Or do I hear
the dark-embedded engine
of the slow-grinding globe,
or something alone, in pain,
that enters the brain through the ears
and cannot leave? O temptress Sleep,
your embrace would set it free.
A living paradox

or who I am. Continue reading "The Photo"
"That house! We stayed there!" The couple said
as I passed them at the garden gate.
"But never, never again!" And then they fled.
Undeterred, I entered, and met the priest.
In the dimness I saw his spectral face
like someone recently deceased.
And when he spoke, his voice was hollow,
as old as those beams of ancient oak.
"Fear not, my son, Christ I follow.
"I've exorcised this house, by His grace,
of two departed souls. Well, goodbye, my son."
He left. And now I haunt the place.
Swiftly flew the boomerang
and, alas for uncle Keith,
as he wondered: "Where's it gone?"
it knocked out half his teeth.
So where are they, these flying cars,
these household robots, these trips to Mars?
Communications – that part came true.
Now someone's always watching you.
Still the Earth is green.
I wander along the pathways –
those deep brown veins
flowing through England's heartlands
over fields that breast the hills
and by dark brooks
that polish silver stones
for my delight; Continue reading "Still the Earth is Green"

The school results of pupils in South Rotterdam lag behind those of pupils in other parts of the city. The Cito score is, on average, very low and nearly 25% of the children in South Rotterdam drop out of secondary education. (The Cito is a test that pupils in their last year of primary school take, to help determine what level of secondary education is advisable for them.)
Partners from their environments at home, at school and in the neighbourhood are working together intensively to create a structural change for the better. This is done in the programmes Mentors of Rotterdam; Comfortable with Language; Parents and Career Orientation & Guidance; Toolbox and Parents and Homework.

In a business that serves the demands of ever advancing technologies, some things should things should never change. But in today's fast-paced world, it often seems like we are in a constant state of change. Whether it's the latest app or mobile device, the rise of wearable technology, or cars that stop themselves – nothing stays the same… that you can count on.
You can also count on change in the world of AdvanceTEC. Increasing demands for cleanroom performance, the drive for project schedule compression, the need to optimize and see an even faster ROI on every project dollar – our clients' requirements and expectations of us never stay the same. Fortunately for our clients, our capabilities and technologies continue to advance to meet these changes with tools like cutting-edge "Intelligent" 3D BIM modeling and the latest project management platforms.
Sometimes, however, in this world of change I think we need to stop and think about the things that shouldn't change. At AdvanceTEC, it all starts with our unwavering focus and commitment to our clients' success. As we have proven over our 16-year history, our focus never changes from "taking care of our clients." But what does that really mean?
Well, it's actually so simple and it always has been. It means we do the right thing, even when it's not easy. It means we do the very best job we possibly can, even if no one is looking. It means we hold ourselves to a higher standard, even if it's not written down on paper. It means making a commitment, and making it happen.
It may seem "old school," and in some respects it is. It may sound like a tall order and it is, but in this world of technological change we think this simple, "old school" approach should never change. It starts with our AdvanceTEC people, and our trust in them. We have built and continue to grow a team of people with high integrity. They do their best and do what's right for our clients, each and every day. They are driven to focus on ensuring our clients' success, and that's one thing that will never change… at least at AdvanceTEC.

Conversations rumble about how thin the Jays are behind the Front 5 starters, with reference made to past years and how many pitchers got at least 1 start (9 in 2014, 13 in 2013 for example) for the big league club. Keeping in mind that for some of those guys it WAS just one start.
I won't bore you with a regurgitation of the circumstances which led to those often sub-standard substitutions - it wouldn't be a Quick Hit then now would it?
So here we go - a rough order of priority, in a circumstantial vacuum, in which we might see starters beyond the projected Opening Day rotation. This attempts to strike a balance between number of starts they'd be allowed and the order in which they'd be turned to.
Tier 1
6. Marco Estrada - truth is, they are six good options deep at a minimum;
7. Roberto Osuna - they could stretch him out if it looked like the need would be long-term;
8. Todd Redmond - he's shown himself capable before and he's not the only long man now;
Tier 2
9. Randy Wolf - if he does well once the season starts he could potentially jump to #7 only because if the need is really long term, Osuna
probably couldn't hold up to accumulate more than 100 IP so Wolf might
be a natural fit if he proves worthy; Possibly he could really such and drop down to around #15 too;
10. Liam Hendricks - they are clinging to him for some reason, but if you get to him, for more than one or two spot starts, you have to pray the team knows something you don't. So far he's struggled to turn good AAA stats into MLB results;
11. Chad Jenkins - he's been better than Hendriks in spot start opportunities, despite poorer AAA stats;
12. Andrew Albers - has the virtue of having started and exceeded expectations for the Twins a couple of years ago
Tier 3
13. Jun Pablo Oramas - not likely on your radar, he's better than you think he is. No, really. Maybe a sleeper in terms of potential major league contribution.
14. Johan Santana - kinda of an odd placement, if he shows anything like a measure of his previous ability he's top tier, maybe #6 or #7 - but not before June at the earliest; If he doesn't show much but is still able to pitch at all, this is about right - he can't do worse than ...
15. Jeff Francis - okay NOW you can start to worry;
16/17. Matt Boyd/Taylor Cole - If they pitch in AA this year like they did in Dunedin last year, they have to be on the radar if things get bad enough they have to consider giving Francis a start. They are not A-list prospects but they do have good arguments. Boyd is a LHP who shows up on some Top 30 lists (Including Sickels at #16, MLB at #22, and Fangraphs at #29); Cole led the entirety of minor league ball in strikeouts and while technically old for the level, is not old in terms of experience after taking time off for a Mormon mission. They could either of them get some Graveman like helium.
18. Rickey Romero - I know I know, but I can't make this list without mentioning the non-zero possibility he finds his stuff again. Like Santana, if he really does get it back, this is far too low, but unlike Santana, we can't be certain all his issues arose strictly from health issues so a higher degree of suspicion is warranted.
19. Scott Copeland - mentioned only because the team made specific mention of having him stretched out for added depth, something you wouldn't normally bother to comment on for an Org Guy (which he surely is, though I wouldn't rule out a future as a fringey reliever)
20. Jeff Hoffman - should be crazy to contemplate this, but you can't rule out him coming together so well that he blasts through the system for an August debut. Which could be very good news or a sign of complete unmitigated disaster in Toronto.
Last year, the guy with the 8th most stars was..Hendriks, with 3 (Norris had 1 but being a September gift isn't really relevant); in 2013, the #8 guy was Chin-Ming Wang with 6 (5 others combined for 11 beyond him) and Hendricks projects AT BEST to be the 10th option this year and could readily be considerably lower.
I'll argue we have deeper depth this year than last.
Stroman stepped in when an early opening came up and was excellent - let's imagine Osuna could play that role (again, innings limitations may apply);
Happ was promoted as the first internal option - that's Estrada;
Hendriks was the emergency plug-in - Rednond has demonstrated solid results Hendriks can't cite;
Norris only had the one meaningless start but maybe that's Hoffman?
Looking at 13, Wolf CAN'T suck as bad as Wang did I don't imagine; Ditto Albers (just to try to compare vaguely similar status) in relation to Romon Ortiz; Jenkins was #10 that year with 3 starts, he falls at a similar spot on the depth chart this year; I won't belabor the comparison further for folks who got less than 3 starts.
In short - our depth is just fine. Sure, if they can stock up on guys like Chacin or Maholm on minor league deals, it can't hurt to add more - but the depth is no thinner than it ever is, and no more so than it is for almost any team around.

Quick Hit: Starting pitcher depth?
1 comment:
- Mylegacy said...
I see us having FOUR pitchers on the team going north with two starting pitching slots between them.
Specifically, Sanchez and Norris are the two "winners" in Spring Training but Osuna and Castro are both on the team and each is ready to replace anyone who falters.
By season's end I wouldn't be surprised to see that all FOUR of the young guns have made starts.

Video series examines highway worker safety research
Washington – The Transportation Research Board recently published a series of videos highlighting a National Cooperative Highway Research Program analysis of highway worker safety.
Oregon State University College of Engineering faculty members John Gambatese and David Hurwitz examined safety measures and data sources used by state departments of transportation and explored findings for the following research questions:
- How do state DOTs respond when an incident with a highway worker occurs on a worksite?
- What is the current state of practice for using data to develop, implement and evaluate state DOT worker safety programs?
- How does the size and scope of a state DOT influence the agency's highway worker health and safety programs?
"Quite a bit of work going on," Gambatese says in a video. "All different types, going on in the daytime, in the nighttime, in the summer, sometimes in the rainy weather … and we have some safety issues. So, state DOT employees are placed in high-risk environments. Unfortunately, when we don't control those risks to the best that we can, we do have injuries and fatalities, which we try to avoid."
TRB administers NCHRP research in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration.
The free videos are each about an hour long.

I am an aspiring VC and I see the importance of attending conferences.
Where? The world is a big place.
Short answer, conferences are not that useful unless you are on a panel/speaking etc. Recommend you focus on building grass roots. Conferences can be a part of it, but how you do conferences matters, otherwise is an expensive use of cash.

About Beardbangs
Air Filtration
Beardbangs posted a topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkHi all, I'm in Montreal and am wondering if people have had success with air purifiers in the studio. We have an air vent connected to the window which we use for sanding and glaze mixing (and for the kiln of course), but I'm talking about general dust buildup and air quality. Our studio has about 20 members (kind of works like a gym but for ceramics) so it gets dusty really easily. Do plug-in air filters/purifiers work to help take harmful dust particles out of the air? If so, which models do you all recommend? Low wattage is best as our electrical wiring is pretty sketchy and the fuse tends to break fairly often. Thanks!
How To Make This Glaze More Stable
Beardbangs posted a topic in Clay and Glaze ChemistryHello all you experienced glaze chemists, I have been using this recipe at my studio for a few months now and I really like it except that when it's thick it moves more than I'd like. I'd like to slightly adjust it so it's a little more stable. Any recommendations? Also, the iron oxide and copper carb wouldn't affect any of this, right? Soto Amber - Cone 6 Frit 3124- 32% Feldspar Minspar- 26% Silica- 19% Calcium Carbonate- 13% EPK- 10% --- Red Iron Oxide- 3% Copper Carbonate- .75%
ok, thanks. makes sense!
Ok, yeah, that makes sense. I do have cones, but I just stopped bothering to put them in after a while because it was just always working fine. I think I'll try bisquing to cone 04, just to see if that helps, and then put in my cones for the glaze firing and keep a close eye on them. thanks so much for your help.
Hmm, ok, I'll try re-glazing a few of them. I'd be surprised if that's the problem I'm having, as I don't think it's thinner than I usually make the glaze.
I don't use any cones because it's a digital kiln and when I set it to cone 6 it's usually fine. So do you think it might be worth re-firing to cone 5? From reading a little more about bloating, I'm wondering if that's the issue, related to your second idea- I still don't really understand how to better burn out my organics. I'm a bit nervous to do anything more than a pre-programmed firing on my bisque as I've never done it. Could I just fire to cone 04 instead of 06? would that burn off the organics or do you need to soak?
I hand-mix a transparent glaze, which I've used for the last year continuously with great success. The last two times I've glaze-fired, TONS of little bumps appeared, a few of them up to a cm wide (those ones looks a little more like an air bubble in the clay. The clay is white and the glaze is clear, but the bubbles that are appearing are white (so it looks like the glaze has fused to the clay body and pulled it out into bumps/bubbles. Please see the attached photo- this is what all my pieces came out like. I thought my glaze might have been contaminated so I mixed a whole new batch but the same thing happened. The only other thing I can think of that might be different is that it's more humid in the studio because it's the middle of summer. Please help! I'm getting so delayed on my orders because I keep having to re-make everything and I'm freaking out! Should I try re-firing the pieces and doing something differently, like holding it a bit? I fire my bisque to cone 06, and the glaze to cone 6. The kiln sometimes runs a little on the hot side, but I haven't found that to cause this particular problem before. I use PSH cone 6 white stoneware #519. My glaze recipe is: 25% epk, 25% silica, 10% wollastonite, 25% frit 3134, 15% feldspar minspar. Thanks in advance!
Beardbangs replied to Cavy Fire Studios's topic in Business, Marketing, and AccountingIf you're using popcorn to ship over the border you will likely have problems as it is a food product and will need to be inspected by the FDA. I wrap everything in foam sheets first (I wrap extra little pieces around delicate areas like legs and handles), then small bubble wrap (3/16" thick) and then big bubble wrap (5/16" thick or bigger). Then I usually put a layer of peanuts on the bottom and top. My general rule is to leave 2" between the actual pottery and the walls of the box, with padding in between. It might seem excessive but I have found that if I ask the question "can I get away with this amount of packaging without it breaking" the answer is probably no. I want to feel safe dropping the box on the floor myself, because that's what the post will probably do! For boxes with multiples, I usually use the biggest bubble wrap in a continuous piece to wrap all the pieces together so that there are big bubbles between everything but also that they aren't shifting together. Everything is taped or saran wrapped (not crazy-tight, just enough to not let the wrap shift out of place).
Shipping And Fda Approval
Beardbangs replied to Beardbangs's topic in Business, Marketing, and AccountingOh, interesting! I fit much more into the first category. I guess I had been thinking it was most important to get the materials used most accurate, but what you're saying makes a lot of sense. I will look into other code options a little bit. Thanks so much, John!
Shipping And Fda Approval
Beardbangs replied to Beardbangs's topic in Business, Marketing, and AccountingI also made sure in my most recent shipment to include copies of a NAFTA agreement form... I was told by UPS that if I included that I wouldn't have to pay duty in the future.
Shipping And Fda Approval
Beardbangs replied to Beardbangs's topic in Business, Marketing, and AccountingThanks everyone for your responses! The tariff code that I used is 6914.10, which seemed to be the most appropriate judging by the Canada Post HS Code finder on their website. This was the code they gave me for sending ceramics to the US in general, so I don't really understand what happens in regards to the specific states... I am beginning to understand what brokerage is about a bit more now; thank you, Diesel Clay. I'll check out FedEx... has anyone tried out using courier companies with an outside broker? I've heard that can save money but I also makes things a little more complicated I imagine.
Shipping And Fda Approval
Beardbangs replied to Beardbangs's topic in Business, Marketing, and AccountingThanks for the advice. I had been shipping larger quantities with UPS, but am beginning to wonder if it's better to just stick with Canada Post- I get a little bit more nervous about breakages with them, but they only have an $8 brokerage fee compared to over $50 with UPS (and I imagine other couriers are similar).
Shipping And Fda Approval
Beardbangs posted a topic in Business, Marketing, and AccountingHello! I am a ceramicist working in Canada and selling to retailers in the US. I have found that when shipping large quantities of work (around 20 objects) to the US, my customers get charged with an FDA fee- this fee was applied only to the objects that fall under the food-use category (to protect against import of food-use pottery that contains cadmium or lead). Any thoughts on how to work around this fee? Thanks in advance.

Case postponed against O'Neill
The criminal case against a Bethel man accused of killing a Danbury police officer in a hit-and-run collision on Route 7 in June was postponed Nov. 4 until Dec. 14.
James O'Neill, 47, faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of misconduct with a motor vehicle in the death of Officer Donald Hassiak, a New Milford resident, as the officer was riding his bicycle to work.
Mr. O'Neill did not appear in court, but his public defender, Christopher Cosgrove, and State's Attorney David Shepack agreed to continue the case.
Mr. O'Neill stands accused of several other charges related to Officer Hassiak's death: evading responsibility, driving without insurance, and tampering with evidence.
In August, he pleaded innocent to all charges.
Although the misconduct with a motor vehicle charge generally has a five-year maximum penalty, Mr. Shepack has previously said in court he will seek the harsher sentence if Mr. O'Neill is convicted because of his long record of motor vehicle and other criminal offenses.
State law allows a judge to deliver a stricter sentence based on a person's criminal past.
At the time of the Officer Hassiak fatality, Mr. O'Neill was serving two years of probation for a 2007 conviction in state Superior Court for interfering with an officer and breach of peace.
Mr. O'Neill, who is now serving seven months in prison on a probation violation, also faces evading responsibility and other motor vehicle charges as a result of a Bethel collision in May. That case is also pending.
In the New Milford case, police arrested Mr. O'Neill after witnesses told investigators they recognized Mr. O'Neill's gray Buick Skylark as the vehicle that sped away from the collision with Officer Hassiak on Route 7 South.
Police were able to track the car and found damage consistent with the collision, including pieces of Officer Hassiak's clothing embedded in the broken windshield, according to arrest reports.
Officer Hassiak, 41, a 16-year Danbury police veteran, is survived by his wife, Kim; three children aged 2 to 8; his parents, Donald and Marilyn, who live in New Milford; and a brother, Peter.
