Hillary Clinton suffered a crushing defeat on Tuesday in the New Hampshire primaries—she lost to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders by a colossal 22 percent. Sanders handily outperformed the polls, which had him at a comfortable 15 point lead, a similar feat to what he accomplished in Iowa.
Although the win for Sanders infused momentum to his campaign (he raised over $5.2 million after Tuesday night alone), it was ultimately an affirmation of polling expectations. New Hampshire neighbors his home state of Vermont and is a primarily white state with many independent voters, both of which play to Sanders's strengths. His victory speech reflected the same, consistent ideology he has been disseminating since announcing his candidacy.
Clinton, on the other hand, gave a concession speech that was much more noteworthy. She has always been a political chameleon, shifting her views to whatever is most favorable in the current political climate, and her speech thoroughly highlighted this.
We've witnessed stages of this shift since Sanders announced his candidacy in May 2015. While Clinton once touted her label of a "moderate," this has since changed to being a "progressive who gets things done." This is entirely due to Sanders, who has inexorably veered Democratic discourse further left.
Now, with issues of campaign finance at the center of Democratic discussion and debates, Clinton has recognized she, too, must condemn money in politics and claim that campaign finance reform and policing Wall Street will be at the forefront of her campaign.
In a reversal so quick it'll give you whiplash, according to Clinton, she has suddenly become the number one politician invested in campaign finance reform. As she boldly declared in her speech to New Hampshire, "You're not going to find anybody more committed to aggressive campaign finance reform than me."
It certainly sounds convincing.
But let's harken back to last week's Democratic debate, in which Clinton was faced with the truth that she has accepted over $21 million in donations to her campaign from Wall Street, and has taken $675,000 in speaking fees from Goldman Sachs in just one year.
In this instance, when it was suggested that these millions of dollars from corporate and special interests may have corrupted her vote, Clinton feigned complete outrage that her vote could have ever been influenced: "There is this attack that he is putting forth…anybody who ever took donations or speaking fees from any interest group has to be bought. And I just absolutely reject that, Senator…But you will not find that I ever changed a view or a vote because of any donation that I ever received."
She offered the notion that President Obama and numerous other politicians have all received donations from Wall Street, essentially claiming corporate money in politics is not as big of a deal as Sanders is making it out to be.
In her concession speech, she has completely changed her tune. Within just one week, she has suddenly evolved into the person most committed to "aggressive" campaign finance reform, which may be true if she weren't receiving $21 million from the very groups she claims she will reform. It was the very first policy idea she brought up in the speech—she has realized how much voters care about the issue and now seeks to emulate the strong, anti-establishment persona Sanders embodies.
Clinton's gradual adoption of these tenets of Sanders's economic and campaign finance ideals is ultimately a good thing. Even if she is disingenuous, it demonstrates the pull these issues have with voters, and encourages her (if she does win the nomination), to actually address the problem.
Strangely enough, the primary concerns of this election now seem to be on Sanders's turf, and Clinton is just running to catch up.

T-shrts were ordered on Nov 20th. After not receiving them and not getting any tracking info for more than two weeks I found out they never went to the printer! Based on the original shipping estimates they were to be shipped to where I would be at the time of estimated delivery with a few extra days built in on my end. Asked CS to change the shipping address so I don't have to get them shipped again back to my home address. No response to that and its been 48 hours. There are other print orders days past their shipping dates with no tracking information and no sign of the orders. The quality of products I've seen from FAA has been excellent but when orders don't ship on time, no tracking information is provided,and sometimes don't even make it to the printer for weeks (and nobody notices!!) and it can take two days to get a reply from someone, it is ridiculous! I've placed orders with more than 100 different retailers online and never had experiences like this. Mistakes happen, things stock out and shipping gets delayed but when that happens all companies keep you updated, let you know what is going on. If its going to take a month to receive something that was supposed to arrive in a week, well that sucks but at least let the customer know what is going on. The same thing happened two years ago. Prints ordered in early December did not arrive to a client until January and they were bent and chipped. It is time to step up!

'Cybersquatting' enters Oxford dictionary
Cybersquatting, frankenfood and white-van man are the latest words to be included in the Oxford dictionary.
Combat trousers and WAP phones are two more of 67 new words to have been included in the Oxford Compact English Dictionary.
Other words on the list to join the 145,000 current listing include superwaif, fashion icon and bindhi (a face jewel).
Fashionists (people who look forward to fashion shows) will be included in the new edition, as will shrug (close fitting woman's cardigan), carpenter trousers (multi-pocketed trousers with loops for tools) and buzz-cut (today's answer to the crew-cut).
Editor of the new dictionary Catherine Soanes said fashion and beauty had always been major contributors to the English language.
"Many hundreds of words for types of garment are already in the complete record of the English language, the Oxford English Dictionary, and the trend is continuing."
'Sticky' and 'screenager'
The information and technology world also has a number of new entries, including meatspace (physical world, as opposed to virtual), screenager (Internet or computer addicted teenager) and sticky (website attracting long or repeated visits from users).
More unusual words that have warranted a place include gaydar (ability of one gay person to recognise another) and lookism (discrimination on the grounds of how a person looks and the clothes they wear).
But the word Blairism - derived from the Prime Minister Tony Blair - has not been included.
The dictionary's editors said the word must pass the test of time and cannot just be a passing fashion.
Not all words have stood that test and the fashion world seems particularly badly affected.
There are no longer inclusions for directoires (long knickers) and hug-me-tight (1860s woman's close-fitting jacket).
The Oxford University Press dictionary will be published on 14 August.

Pho bo and daikon pickles
I haven't spent a whole lot of time cooking lately and it is driving me mad. I'm just busting for a big, complex project. I spent 5 hours making sushi Saturday morning for the baby shower (blog on that to follow) but that was like riding a bike, even though I hadn't done it for so long, so wasn't enough of a challenge (it all got eaten with gusto though!)
Last night I decided to try my hand at making Pho (I had a craving) and it turned out much better than I was expecting. I modified this Food Network recipe, and since I didn't think it would work so well I didn't take progress shots. Basically what I did was take a large box of really good liquid beef stock (I didn't have time to make my own this round - next time Gadget...), add a couple of slices of fresh ginger, 2 star anise and a cinnamon stick, and boil it for a while. I added a little palm sugar, some salt and a dash of soy but that was to taste depending on the stock. I also added a dash of chili since I like it to have the tiniest edge of heat. I pulled the cinnamon out when it was starting to smell really rich, but didn't take the rest out until I served it. I had to dilute it slightly as it reduced otherwise it was going to become less pho and more beef noodle soup.
While the pot was bubbling I thinly sliced half an onion into half moons, chopped up some bok choy and cut a couple of pieces (bit less than a pound) of sirloin steak into the thinnest slices I could manage. I also cooked some rice stick noodles and had them rinsed and ready to go (doesn't matter if they cool off, the soup is pretty hot when it hits them)
I also prepared the toppings. These are things you add to the pho after it has been served, including coriander leaves, basil leaves, lime wedges, bean sprouts and chilies.
The last stage was easy, but fast and furious. Have the soup bubbling super hot, throw in the onion, beef and bok choy, stir it around once and basically dish it straight up. Ladle the soup etc into a large bowl with a nest of noodle in the bottom. Eat immediately, after adding your own toppings from the condiments plate. Some people also have a dish of hoisin or hot sauce to dip their meat in, or they add it straight to the soup, but I like it just with the lime, herbs and sprouts.
Other things I've made recently that came out pretty darn well include stewed rhubarb, with vanilla beans, orange, ginger and some of the candied cumquats I'd made earlier; sour chili pickled turnips tsukemono style and also tsukemono style pickled daikon. The daikon is probably my favorite (although Josie loves the turnips but she's a sucker for vinegar).
Basic rundown of the daikon recipe is as follows. Peel the daikon (mine was about 50cm long so I only used half!), cut it in half lengthways then into half moons. Place it in a bowl with a couple of decent pinches of salt, and mix well until it is all lightly salted. The salting kills bad stuff, draws out some water and seasons the radish ready for pickling.
While the daikon is being salted, bring some soy sauce, palm sugar, mirin, and rice wine to the boil and add a star anise and some Sichuan peppercorns. I can't tell you the exact quantities because I was doing it by feel but about equal parts soy and rice wine, a dash of mirin and maybe a tablespoon of palm sugar. The volume of pickling liquid you need obviously depends on the size of your jar and the volume of daikon. Boil until well infused with the star anise.
After about 20 minutes of salting, rinse the daikon well (several times) and press between paper towel to dry. Fill a clean glass jar with the radish half moons and then pour over the slightly cooled pickling liquid, including the whole spices. Store in the fridge for a day, giving it a good shake up once or twice, and they're ready to snack on the next day! Crunchy, sweet, salty and spiced pickles...mmm

y goodness you have been busy, but you were doing lots of that when I had my long talk to your wonderful partner :-)
I wish to taste the cumquats and all the other goodies, so don't forget how to do them, for when you return to the big island.
You are pretty wonderful at putting your hand to most things and coming out with extraordinary results.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorsed Maryland's same-sex marriage law Friday morning, saying in a statement: "I do not believe that government has any business telling one class of couples that they cannot marry."
The New York mayor and billionaire backed up his words with his checkbook, contributing $250,000 to support same-sex marriage efforts in Maryland, The New York Times reported Friday.
He also supported the effort in his home state to pass a same-sex marriage law.
"The next great barrier to full equality under the law is marriage equality," Bloomberg wrote. "There is no doubt in my mind this barrier will fall, just as so many others have. The question is not if, but when."
The big name endorsement came as supporters are trying to shift attention away from a Gallaudet University official who was suspended (with pay) from her position as a diversity officer when her bosses learned that she had signed a petition to put the Maryland same-sex marriage law on the ballot.
Supporters, including Gov. Martin O'Malley, have called on the university to re-instate her.

Learning in the age of authenticity
As I uncovered various creative perspectives on Bangkok this last week, I was treated to a tour organized by Bangkok's funkiest travel agency, Smiling Albino. The company was founded in 1999 by two crazy Canadians, Scott Coates and Daniel Fraser, to "bring a unique travel experience […] the result of continuous travel, innovation and refinement".
Unique, here, is the keyword. As we strolled through the streets of the City of Angels for a few hours (we actually loved it so much we called for a second private tour a few days later), it truly felt like we were on an adventure worthy of a Casey Neistat stunt. Yet it became clear that everyone we met, including our tour guide, were for real.
The new luxury
Our friend and cllbr Paris correspondent Gregory Casper likes to think and write about how Gen Y's relationship to luxury is very different from that of previous generations.
In Casper's words, luxury items have become dissociated from extraordinary circumstance and are increasingly embedded in our daily lives. For several individuals, luxurious products are considered durable investments in their identity; something they can display, wear, inhabit and promote as an extension of their public persona.
If luxury as a concept is losing its power as an element of superficial prestige, it is gaining in other attributes. The new luxury — from fashion, to travel, to education — consists of custom-made, experiential, relational and narratable experiences. It is the product of on-going self-appraisal, of learning about oneself and the world.
Custom-made, experiential, relational and narratable
Several luxury brands today have understood the necessity to exit the system of "quality mass production" to enter a new era of specificity where every item and every experience is unique (or at least, feels that way).
Long gone are the days where, for instance, luxury travel consisted of 5-star hotels and private drivers to take tourists from their resorts to air-conditioned shopping malls. Today, high end travellers want to experience something they feel was designed for them, not for the greater masses: they want to be rocked, sit close to the water, get their shoes and hands dirty, surrounded by local smells, tastes, sights and people.
What sets Smiling Albino's value proposal aside from other experiential learning programs is their ability to invent such experiences through continuous interaction with select hosts and service providers.
The same can be said of Creative Bangkok — by all means, a breakthrough in terms of creative pedagogy —, sketching a relatable thread between individuals, venues and activities.
Its guides do so by building sustained relationships with hosts as well as with adventurers. Rates may be higher, guests pay willingly, and return in vast numbers. In the case of the travel agency, this has led the company to expand to Nepal, Cambodia, Myanmar and Vietnam. For Creative Bangkok, this may mean sustainable leadership in its ability to serve as a worldwide hub for such further initiatives.
As it looks further to its second edition, Creative Bangkok has also inspired individuals with an intent to produce programs in the Philippines, Bahreïn, and maybe elsewhere. We will be very interested to find out how Bangkok can play a defining role in the coming of age of Middle Eastern and Asian creativity.
This new type of learning experience promises to deliver more in the years to come, with a view towards genuine and authentic jumps into local realities. In this new luxury of travel and education, your tour guide is actually part of the group, hands dirty, eyes shinny, and fully involved in the action.
We look forward to more. And so should you!

Who lives with roommates
Housemates and roommates are typically unmarried young
adults, including workers and students (the practice
of sharing a bedroom is mostly limited to students).
It is not rare for middle-aged and elderly adults who
are divorced
or widowed to have housemates. Married couples, however,
typically discontinue living with roommates, especially
when they have children.
One difficulty
is finding suitable roommates. Living with a roommate
can mean much less privacy than having a flat on your
own, and for some people this can cause a lot of stress.
Another thing to consider when choosing
a roommate is how to divide the cost of living. Who
pays for what, or are the shared expenses divided between
the two or more roomies. Can the person your considering
as a roommate even be trusted to pay their share and
trusted to pay it on time? Sleeping patterns can also
be disrupted when living with a number of people, so
it is therefore important to choose housemates wisely.

Mischief Night, or Cabbage Night, or Goosy Night, or Beggars' Night, and then Halloween are coming. They'll be the first two weeknights *off* this month, in terms of start-up stuff. But not other stuff. Before I put my head on the pillow, here are a couple random thoughts to bounce around:
** What Serge said. Before I started b-school, I called a friend from undergrad (yes, Serge is his real name) to ping him for his thoughts. He said not to join too many clubs, and that possibly the most risk-free time you'll ever have to start a business is during business school. Here's why that was great -- I bit off way more than I could chew this semester. There are one or two things I would've done differently had I known, but hey, I didn't. Some assignments have been sub-par. Some grades will suffer. It won't matter. School isn't *really* the real world, in that sense. If I wasn't schlepping around from Bellingham to Boston to Beverly (that's the last 24 hours, and the alliteration was unplanned, I swear), I might've been able to study for my Airline Industry midterm tomorrow. It's a shade past midnight, and I won't study, and won't beat the mean. But I will pass, because I absorbed enough from class and from the problem sets to make that happen. That's all that matters. Post-June, it's the real world again...but now, it's really just not. The difference between a B and a A, or even a C and a B, on a piece of paper that no one may ever see, just isn't all that real.
** Sales latency. This is something that continues to surprise/amaze me. If you asked me to explain my sales funnel to you, I wouldn't be able to. I wouldn't look at you funny, though -- I would just say, "I don't know that because I don't have enough information." Sometimes an e-mail that got sent in June gets responded to in late-October, because the right person saw the right person who ran into the person who was the decision-maker. That took time. It's really hard to know the ROI of something you do on day [X]. As the old marketing joke goes, "I make all my sales from half my ad budget...I just don't know which half." The idealist in me wants to think if you're doing something, and you're doing it well, you start to make your own luck with increasing frequency.
** It's Not What You Know, It's What You Can Learn. I loved the section of Chris Matthews' book "Hardball" where he talks about "It's Not Who You Know...It's Who You Get to Know." He was purposely twisting the old saying about who you know and what you know by saying that YES, it is "who" you know, but that you have the power to change that to work in your favor by meeting more people. Knowledge works the same way -- to put it into a formula, you could say that curious person + time = a knowledgeable person. Anyway, when I saw Steve Kaufer speak to our Sandbox Accelerator class, he flat-out told us that when he started TripAdvisor, he didn't know the first thing about the travel industry. But he wasn't too worried about that, because he knew he could learn...and he did. Today, the guy probably knows more than just about anyone on the planet about that subject. I didn't start off with any particular background or credential in my field, but when enough minutes turn into enough hours and then enough days, following enough books, enough YouTube videos, and enough journal articles...the types of conversations I can sustain start to change...which is a nice reward to see.
** "Free" is a cruel, cruel mistress. Anyone who thinks they know precisely whether ANY business should EVER do anything free is about as wrong as anyone who thinks they have a good solution for US policy towards Iran. There is no easy answer to this. For every app that failed to monetize its freemium concept, there's a counterexample. Shoot, PayPal actually PAID its early adopters tidy sums of money just to use the service. Free is complicated. Free can serve a purpose. A business just has to know when to tap the brakes, and then when to slam them. Too much free is a hobby, and not a business. Free, if done right, has the power to launch.
I may be head-bobbing tomorrow morning during the case about the Basel III capital requirements for banks, and then during the Health Care discussion about linear optimization models for patient throughput, and then the midterm, and then BAUFS (Business Analysis Using Financial Statements...great acronym, eh?)...and it may not matter. I can sleep on the train. Tomorrow night can be time for some family, some baseball, and some rest (and if you think I sound like a fairweather baseball fan, you're damn right I am! There's no way I could sit through any game not being played in October unless I was physically there at the park watching).
And on that note, good night, and thanks as always for reading.

Gov. Bobby Jindal's rejection of the federal Medicaid expansion could prove expensive to Louisiana businesses, according to a new report by a national tax service firm.
Collective tax penalties for Louisiana employers potentially could range from $51.7 million to $77.5 million annually, based on the analysis by Jackson Hewitt, a national tax accountants' company.
A clause in the 2010 federal Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, penalizes some employers when their employees aren't able to obtain affordable medical coverage through their company. The provision affects employers with 50 employees or more and sets out a maximum $3,000 per employee penalty.
The employers don't have to pay the penalty if their employees qualify for Medicaid expansion coverage. States have the option of expanding Medicaid to cover adults with annual income up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level.
"If there's that much money to Louisiana employers, that's a reason to do Medicaid expansion in some way, shape or form," state Senate Insurance Committee Chairman Dan "Blade" Morrish, R-Jennings, said Thursday. "We might as well not do tax reform because that does it right there."
Morrish said he had just received a copy of the report and wants a nonpartisan review of it. He also said he would ship a copy to state health chief Bruce Greenstein, who has been Jindal's point person on the Medicaid expansion issue.
Greenstein disputed the analysis.
He said the administration has not done any kind of study on the potential impact on employers of the decision not to expand Medicaid. "I don't agree with their conclusion in the sense that they chose to base it on the absolutely worse case scenario, which I find disturbing. It doesn't really contemplate how the real world works," Greenstein said.
Greenstein said Jackson Hewitt is projecting that every employer with 50 or more employees will drop health insurance for that company and that every employee will get subsidized health insurance through the exchange market.
The potential for an employer penalty without Medicaid expansion came up during a meeting of the Legislature's insurance committees on Wednesday. But no one put a number on the potential penalties to which Louisiana firms could be exposed.
Jindal is against the Medicaid expansion, which is estimated to provide insurance for up to 400,000 uninsured, contending the current federal program is broken and should not be replicated. He said there needs to be more flexibility to move to private sector health insurance. He also contends it would be too costly for the state — with the tab running in excess of $1 billion over a 10 year period.
The federal government pays 100 percent of Medicaid expansion costs of the program which begins in 2014 for the first three years. After that states would be responsible for no more than 10 percent of costs.
"In the 22 states that have opposed, are leaning against or remain undecided about expanding Medicaid, we predict employer shared responsibility costs could total $876 million to $1.3 billion each year," wrote study author Brian Haile, Jackson-Hewitt's first senior vice president for health policy. "As some states are still evaluating their participation, it is critical that any projections of the 'net' costs of Medicaid expansions also reflect the very real costs of the shared responsibility penalties to employers in any particular state."
If a state foregoes the Medicaid expansion, then eligible employees can enroll in the premium assistance tax credits, he said. "In such circumstances, their employers will face liabilities for the 'shared responsibility' tax penalties," Haile said.
On Wednesday, Petula Workman, Gallagher Benefit Services area vice president, said the rejection would translate into additional employer costs because of an Affordable Care Act provision dealing with "shared responsibility.".
Then, Greenstein said, employers may take the tax penalty "because it could be far less expensive for the balance sheet" instead of providing insurance coverage.
Morrish said he fears a lot of employers don't know about the potential impact the lack of Medicaid expansion could have on them.
"It could be a hidden cost to the employers that could make a big difference in this conversation," he said.

Dollar Retreats on Slower Rate-Increase Expectations
U.S. currency loses ground against the euro, yen and several emerging market currencies
The dollar suffered broad losses Thursday, extending a 2017 retreat after the Federal Reserve signaled it would raise interest rates more slowly than some investors had come to expect.
With the dollar losing ground against the euro, yen and several emerging market currencies, The Wall Street Journal Dollar Index sank to its lowest level since early February. Gold futures notched their biggest daily gain in 10 months, as some traders wagered the Fed risks letting inflation perk up beyond its 2% target.
The movement marked the latest setback for investors who expected the dollar would rise this year as the Fed stepped up the pace of rate increases. A stronger dollar has become a popular trade on Wall Street even after a significant period of U.S. currency appreciation, reflecting in part the widespread investor expectation that the Trump administration will enact policies that boost U.S. growth and limit trade. But when these expectations wane, sharp retreats can ensue.
"This looks to be more about positioning than a change in direction," said Christian Lawrence, senior market strategist at Rabobank.
Thursday's drop left the WSJ Dollar Index down 2.5% for the year, even after the Fed on Wednesday raised its fed funds rate to a range of 0.75% to 1%. Higher rates tend to buoy the dollar by making it more attractive to yield-seeking investors.
The retreat is an acute surprise for those betting on a dollar revival because many saw signs earlier this month that the Fed was turning hawkish. A fresh round of solid U.S. economic data and comments from Fed speakers that pointed to a March rate increase—three months earlier than the consensus expectation heading into this month—lifted the dollar for the first two weeks of March.
But the central bank's policy statement Wednesday was deemed by many analysts to be in keeping with the Fed's cautious tone throughout the postcrisis period. The central bank has raised rates only once in each of the past three years, after leaving them on hold for years.
The market is also weighing if the White House can make good on its fiscal stimulus plan of a new tax regime, business deregulation and infrastructure spending.
Analysts say that one proposed change to tax policy, which incentivizes U.S. companies to bring back cash held abroad, would likely give the dollar a short-term boost even if the economy slows or interest rates don't rise quickly.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has laid out plans to overhaul the tax code by August. But questions remain about whether Congress will get behind the plan, and President Donald Trump has focused more on immigration and other issues at the start of his term.
The WSJ Dollar Index closed down 0.2% at 90.65, its lowest level since Feb. 8. The dollar touched 19.05 against the Mexican peso, a four-month low. It also declined against the Turkish lira and the Russian ruble. Gold for March delivery closed up 2.2% at $1,226.50 a troy ounce, the biggest rise since last June.
The euro rose to $1.0768, its highest level since Feb. 3. The currency has lost about 4% of its value against the dollar since October, when markets started betting on tighter monetary policy in the U.S.
The yearslong move higher by the U.S. dollar has left it looking expensive, some analysts said. One gauge of a currency's value is its real effective exchange rate, or REER, which measures a country's exchange rate against several trading partners, adjusted for inflation.
The dollar's REER is currently higher than both its five- and 10-year averages, according to the Bank for International Settlements. While currencies can trade above and below their long-run valuations for extended periods, it underscores the extent of the dollar's rally.
The real effective exchange rates for both the euro and yen are below their five- and 10-year averages, suggesting they are cheap.
Yet with U.S. economic growth picking up and the Fed indicating more rate increases this year, many believe the dollar can resume a rally that sent it to a 14-year high in January.
U.S. single-family housing starts in February hit their highest level since the recession thanks in part to a strengthening economy, Commerce Department data showed Thursday.
Meanwhile, the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits fell last week and continued to hover at a low level consistent with a healthy U.S. labor market. Jobless claims have remained below 300,000 for 106 consecutive weeks, the longest such streak since 1970.
Europe and Japan have had upside surprises recently in their economic data as well, but many investors see demographics and debt dynamics in those regions as more challenging than in the U.S., making dollar assets the most attractive option.
"Investors are likely to see this decline as a buying opportunity," said Omer Esiner, chief market analyst at Commonwealth Foreign Exchange.

NAMPA — Salmon River's freshly-finished football and basketball championship quartet spanned about 14,000 hours in the making, yet came down to the final minute of the 1AD2 boys basketball final: a 63-59 win over Ambrose last Saturday, March 8, at the Idaho Center.
"I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders," Savages coach Charlie Shepherd said. "It'd be neat to see some of these same boys get championship in track, our 4x400 team in particular. But that's all a bonus. The pressure is off."
With about 10 seconds left, Ambrose's top gun, Travis Yenor, fired a three-pointer to cut a late Savages lead down to one possession. With five seconds to go, Salmon River's Mr. Reliable, Leighton Vander Esch, stepped to the line for two free throws and buried Ambrose's comeback bid once and for all.
Behind Yenor, Ambrose led from the start until about two minutes into the second quarter — and the Archers threatened to put the game out of reach early with back-to-back baskets by Yenor late in the first quarter. Vander Esch scored the next five points on a trey late in the first followed by foul shots (on the play pictured at left) early in the second.
Yenor scored again, but Vander Esch found Terrun Zolman for back-to-back layups on back-door cuts, tying the game at 19-19.
Vander Esch followed with a three-pointer for Salmon River's first lead; Yenor answered with a tying three, and Zolman answered with a three to restore the Savages lead, 25-22.
Eason Boeck revived Ambrose with three threes, which kept up the Archers' lead as the second quarter ticked down to one minute.
Jimmy Shepherd put Salmon River back in front, 34-33, with a triple before halftime, but Yenor posted up for a lead-changing layup at the buzzer.
Salmon River vaulted back into the lead when Vander Esch dunked on consecutive possessions midway through the third quarter. After an Ambrose time-out, Vander Esch sank a triple from the top of the key for a 46-41 Savages advantage; he and Nolan Richerson followed with layups to keep the lead at five starting the third quarter.
Faced with an opportunity to fade after Zolman nailed a trey, Ambrose ripped off a 9-2 run to draw within a point, 55-54, on a coast-to-coast layup by Jaxon Hughes which began with a Salmon River turnover. Leading by that narrowest of margins with a minute left in the contest, Richerson scored a couple of crucial free throws, then added a crucial layup to raise the Salmon River lead back to five.
"Ambrose shot the ball really well," Shepherd said. (The Archers hit 45 percent of their threes despite a poor second half performance at the arc.) "We showed composure at the foul line, Leighton and Nolan especially. Leighton once again proved he's a big-game player in football and basketball. His second dunk took wind out of their sails and gave us energy, and kind of got in their head. Their shooting percentage started going down after that."
Beyond all the offense, Vander Esch also made the defensive play of the game: a thunderous block late in the fourth quarter.
During the banner presentation after the game, Shepherd reminded the crowd that Vander Esch is, after all, the reigning 2013 1A "player of the year" as selected by the Idaho Statesman and suggested Vander Esch could and should soon be named the same a second time.
Vander Esch was recently named to North Idaho College's all-Idaho basketball team; he has committed to play football at Boise State next fall.

Salmon River 59, Kendrick 32
CALDWELL — Leighton Vander Esch scored 29 points, and Kendrick fell out of contention in the 1AD2 semifinal round last Friday, March 7. The Tigers impending defeat became apparant almost immediately after Vander Esch's third basket — a three that reversed Kendrick's early lead, making it 8-5 Salmon River. Jimmy Shepherd and Terrun Zolman followed with threes, yielding nine points on three Savages possessions, good for a 14-7 lead.
Shepherd hit another trey before the first quarter expired, and the rout continued as Salmon River outscored the Tigers 15-7 during the second quarter.
During the third quarter, Kendrick competed far more effectively against Salmon River's three-man game, in which Vander Esch stationed on the left block with Shepherd in the left corner and Zolman at the arc on left wing. Kendrick hedged away from the other Savages on the court, but did so without allowing many easy scoring chances.
Salmon River went back to gunning during the fourth quarter, outscoring Kendrick 14-4 in the final frame.
Shepherd finished with four triples and 13 points as the only other Savage in double-digits; Vander Esch nabbed 15 defensive rebounds (18 total rebounds).
Salmon River 65, Carey 45
CALDWELL — Carey collapsed during the second quarter of the 1AD2 tournament opener last Thursday, March 6, at Caldwell High School.
Salmon River put three players — Leighton Vander Esch (27 points), Terrun Zolman (16) and McCoy Hale (10) — in double-digits. Jimmy Shepherd tallied nine on an off-night for Salmon River's three-point shooters.
Leading 16-11 after one, Salmon River widened the gap to 18 points with a 24-point surge during the second period.
The Savages eventually fouled out Joe Parke, Carey's second-leading scorer, and contained high-scoring six-footer Nate Adamson, who nevertheless scored 20 in a losing effort.
Late in the fourth quarter, the Savages lost Hale to an ankle injury that kept him sidelined against Kendrick and kept him out of the starting lineup against Ambrose.

text: A new play by Normal People Productions, "Doreen: An English Witch" focuses on the life and works of internationally renowned Doreen Valiente. Co-written by Gavin 'Archie' Caine and Roman Withers, who also appears as The Priest alongside Peta Taylor as Doreen Valiente and Charlotte Dearing as The Postulant, the play will bring to life some stories and memories of Doreen. Brighton was her last home town and she was very happy here in her flat by the sea, which is where the play will be set. We will meet a fictional postulant and, through her tasks and conversations with Doreen, we will have further illustration of this remarkable woman.

Yankees overhaul bullpen
Slipping under the wire of that other big story today were two trades the Yankees made. One makes a lot of sense. The other, not so much.
Trade A: The Yankees send Kenny Lofton and cash to Philadelphia for Felix Rodriguez.
Despite the fact that Joe Torre refused to use him in the playoffs last year, Lofton was still a fairly useful player, almost exactly league average as a center fielder. His speed is almost gone, but he still gets on base at a decent clip and covers enough ground to not embarrass himself in center field. However, he turns 38 next May and is due $3 million next year, and the Yankees decided they needed bullpen help more than they needed an expensive fourth outfielder. Felix Rodriguez isn't the dominating setup man he was in 2001, but he's still pretty darn good, posting good numbers across the board. He'll become the Yankees third best RHP out of the pen and give them some depth in the middle innings. Total cost to upgrade the pen? About $1 million, plus the bonus of removing a player they didn't want around.
This trade makes a lot less sense for Philadelphia, unless they spend that $1 million really well. Lofton isn't the flycatcher the Phillies need in between Burrell and Abreu, and he's not the leadoff hitter they've been looking for. He's a nice spare part now occupying a position where the Phillies had an opportunity to get significantly better. The opportunity cost of filling the CF gap is the real problem here. The Phillies saved some cash, but they just made it that much harder to improve themselves. Ed Wade continues to spin his heels with a roster that should be much better than it is.
The best news out of this deal, though, is that those infernal Randy Winn for Ryan Howard suggestions can finally die. Hallelujah.
Trade B:
The Yankees sent Felix Heredia to the Mets for Mike Stanton and $1 million in cash.
Heredia was the Yankees version of Shigetoshi Hasegawa. He posted a superficially solid ERA in 2003 and earned a nifty little two year deal for his work. His ratios said the performance wasn't sustainable, and wham, a 6.28 ERA in 2004 earns him a trip to Queens. Ironically, the Yankees may have made almost the same move they did last year when they gave Heredia that extension. Stanton's 3.16 ERA for the Mets last year might remind some of his 2001 dominance in the Bronx, but he clearly wasn't the same pitcher. His ratios have plummeted and his effectiveness against southpaws is almost completely gone (they hit .269/.370/.426 against him last year). Heading into his age 38 season, there's little chance Stanton will post an ERA below 4.00 again, and he's a decent bet to end up with an ERA somewhere around Heredia's.
The money the Mets are sending only covers half the difference in contracts, so the Yankees paid another $1 million for this supposed upgrade. Don't be surprised when Stanton is filling Heredia's role as the Lefty-That-Joe-Torre-Is-Too-Afraid-To-Use next October, however.

Almost exactly my thoughts. I like F-Rod, but then again, it's almost a wash if the Yanks are forced to package Tom Gordon. Stanton is a wash for Heredia, so they don't have a reliable lefty out of the pen.
The Yankees won't win the world series with this starting rotation. That's the problem they need to fix.

Wasn't Stanton the guy just two years ago who wasn't deemed good enough for the Yankees? What exactly made him worthy since?
Bela Txadux on

To me, Brian Cashman shines again on this. Consider: he had two guys neither he nor his manager wanted to have perform in a Yankers uniform again, both older and relatively expensive for their best projections, which projections they were in fact unlikely to meet. He moved both of them. In return, he got one pretty darn good reliever, Felix Rod, who could perform in an enlarge role in the great likelihood that Gordon or Quantrill have physical problems. He also got one guy, Stanton, who was great for the Yanks in the past, and is unlikely to be any worse than the guy he replaces. Cashman doesn't sit still, and virtually everything he does is a net positive.
Ed Wade . . . I have no idea, none, what this man thinks he is doing running his franchise. He's not godawful at Bonifay and Baird levels, but unlike Cashman his transactions as a group always seem to come out net negatives, his teams have always seemed unbalanced in talent, and have certainly been chronic underperformers. Kenny Lofton, Version '05, fits that matrix to the last jot and tittle. The Phillies CF problem is at best 'stop-gapped,' it certainly isn't solved. Wade: In the Water.

It isn't really about Stanton, it's about Heredia being completely useless. I think the Stanton for Heredia deal is a steal for the Yankees, because Heredia was so bad that it's pretty likely that they were going to have to release him in spring training because he wasn't gonna make the 25 man roster. For them to get Stanton and get
the Mets to make up the difference in the salaries is remarkable, kind of similar to when we shook our heads last winter when the M's traded away Colbrunn, took back Q Mc and paid AZ a bunch of money "to make the deal fair".
I think the Yankees did well on the other deal too, as it seemed like they were gonna have a hard time getting anyone to take Lofton. Yes, they paid half of Lofton's salary, but they got a player of value in the deal, a player they desperately needed. Rodriguez gives them a top-notch setup man and insurance in case Rivera goes down with an injury…
It's these kinds of deals that piss me off to be a Mariner fan — Lofton and Heredia are the Yankee equivalents (on some level) of guys like Cirillo and Spiezio. If you're creative and you have relationships with enough GM's you can make the guys you don't want go away — without having to take back useless overpaid pieces (i.e. Kevin Jarvis, Wiki Gonzalez) in the process…
And imagine how it must feel to be a Met fan right now, knowing that your team is going to pay nearly $3 million for a lefty reliever who had a 6.28 ERA last year – just so you could get rid of another guy making $4 mil, a guy who had a decent year?

I wonder if the Yankees have any more interest in Villone after today. Their bullpen seems a bit too crowded to add another marginal arm to the mix. Also, I don't see the Mariners being able to trade Winn to Philly after today. In my opinion the Mariners should have traded both Winn and Villone before the trading deadline last year.

May I ask what Winn's relative position vs. league average CF is?

Hey #4,
I'm a Mets fan, and I'm behind the Heredia/Stanton deal at least 75%. You have to dig a little deeper into Stanton's stats to get a handle on the kind of year he had for us — that, or suffer through all his games in an apoplectic state. Be glad you were spared the latter. Here's but one chart from BP, which shows one of his main problems: ineffectiveness at preventing inherited runners from scoring.
He may have compiled a fair ERA and halfway decent WHIP, but they're mostly a mirage as you need to look at prior pitchers' stats to find Stanton's deficiencies.
As to Heredia, well, no one can be excited to have him on their team after the season he had. Minaya has made it clear that his motivation here was saving a cool million. You can also infer from his statement and the fact that he has a brain that he knows Heredia may suck too much to make the bullpen. Another way to look at this deal from Minaya's perspective is as another step in a long process of getting rid of the ageing veterans so highly prized by the previous Mets administrations.
Heredia's younger, better against lefties than righties, and going to Rick Peterson and Shea Stadium. I say he outpitches Stanton next year…if he even makes the team, that is.

In all the new job excitement, I forgot to mention that I will be speaking at BLUG, the Belux Lotus User Group, again!
Jess Stratton and I will be presenting:
Collaboration, Party of One: When You're Both the Dev and the Admin
When your administrator and your developer are one and the same, and they're both you, things can get confusing. As the administrator, you've got a lot of power. Frequently, the role of administrator is to lock things down, keep the server running smoothly and tune performance. As the developer, you want a lot of power. You want unlimited agents to run anytime you want, as frequently as possible, with little to no limitations! So how do you reconcile these opposing needs when you have to play both roles? Jess and Kathy will show you how to use separate IDs, location documents and other fail-safes to make sure your party of one is successful!
Hope to see you there!


text: An atavistic charm hovers around Kangas's authorial debut, with its genial story of good-neighborliness and its fully fleshed, closely observed art full of soft woodland colors. Charming because it neatly skirts mawkishness as its sweet, clueless characters trundle along in their warmhearted way. An egg rolls to a stop outside Edgar Small's mouse-house door. Edgar mistakes the blue egg for one of Mr. Crustydome's children, but the turtle denies ownership. Instead, he suggests sprucing up the beast with some buttercup-yellow paint. On through the wildwood, as each potential parent can't accept the egg, but has ideas about how to make it look more appealing. The gathering crowd finally arrives at Mrs. Fleedle's perch high in a tree, with Mrs. Fleedle in a state because she's lost her egg—she fails to recognize the dolled-up item before her. Then it conveniently hatches; Mrs. Fleedle has no doubts about the insides of the strange exterior, a lesson not lost on the parents of many teenagers, but one that will also make harmonious sounds with much younger souls, if in their case as much about security as identity. (Picture book. 3-6)
