2016 Year-End MLB Team Portfolio Rankings
by Andrew Perna & John Watson
We have created a year-end team portfolio ranking for Major League Baseball. The exercise is to evaluate every team as if they were a portfolio of assets to determine which is most valuable.
The only considerations are talent, age, contract situations and farm system with the goal being to eventually compete for and win the World Series. An older team already contending is more valued than a younger team with a ton of talent that may not get there, but the younger team with upside is a better bet than an older team that's currently better but without the upside.
There is no consideration given to the team location, history, manager, general manager or owner.
The MLB has an ever-changing landscape but this creation of a hierarchal ranking gives a look to how we would choose their collective situations at the end of 2016. Last year's rankings are in parenthesis, which you can also read here.
- Also see RealGM's Year-End Team Portfolio Rankings for the NBA, NFL and Soccer.
30. San Diego Padres (20): Deciding who deserves the extreme spots on this list is a tough job, and that goes doubly for determining who deserves the ignominy of last place. The dubious distinction this year goes to the Padres, as they continue to struggle to recover from the ill-fated all-in gamble known as "Prellerpalooza." Without even discussing the front office, the Pads are clearly a team in transition, as Wil Myers alone does not a contending team make. The prospect cabinet is starting to look a little less barren, but most of those players are still in the lower minors and there just isn't enough there to have much hope for San Diego to break through into baseball's upper tier during the time frame we're talking about, especially in the particularly rough NL West. - JW
29. Minnesota Twins (19): The Twins have an above-average farm system, including three players that began 2016 as top-50 talents (Byron Buxton, Jose Berrios and Max Kepler). It was Kepler that delivered the most this past season with a .734 OPS and 17 home runs. While there is plenty of young talent, the grace period for a rebuild is wearing out. They have finished last in the AL Central four of the last six seasons. If they trade Brian Dozier before spring training, finishing higher than fourth would be quite an overachievement. - AP
28. Arizona Diamondbacks (15): Arizona looked like they might be a sleeper pick last season with a few breaks. Then they put up the worst run differential of non-rebuilding team (-138) and barely eked out a 4th place finish over San Diego by just one game. They'd certainly like a gimme on the terribad Shelby Miller trade which helped bump the Braves further up the list. They've still got two more years of A.J. Pollock and Paul Goldschmidt, but with the money tied up with Greinke and the lack of prospects to make any impact trades, it looks like they gambled away their window to take advantage of the head start those players gave them and are going to have a tough time breaking through in their division. - JW
27. Cincinnati Reds (30): With the Reds, we're no doubt looking at a rebuilding team, but one that's starting to wander in from the darkness. It took them far too long to sell off some of their players and they paid a steep price for it, but the farm is functioning again and they have quite a few interesting prospects who should be showing up as early as next season. While it's far too early to bump them out of the basement, it's enough to graduate them from the last place spot they held last year. - JW
26. Milwaukee Brewers (29): The Brewers are in a situation and timeline similar to the Reds in terms of rebuilding. However, Milwaukee was able to get some better prospects in their respective trades, which gives them an edge up on the Reds. The hitting, in particular, is going to be painful to watch this year, but the trades that they've made this calendar year (and the Jonathan Lucroy trade in particular) are enough to give Brewers fans hope for the future and, as with the Reds, move them up a few notches from the next-to-last spot in the list where they sat last year. -JW
25. Oakland Athletics (25): Coming off back-to-back sub-70 win seasons, the Athletics continue to look toward the future with Sonny Gray perpetually on the trade block. It seems like a lifetime ago, but Oakland made three-straight playoff appearances from 2012-14. After hitting a combined 49 home runs in 2014 and 2015, Khris Davis exploded for 42 this past season. Without his production, the A's (653 runs, last in AL) would be even more challenged offensively. The A's love prospects with raw tools and Grant Holmes, Renato Nunez and Matt Chapman are teeming with them. -AP
24. Chicago White Sox (17): The White Sox disappointed on the field, but immediately made the future much brighter when they finally traded Chris Sale and followed that up by sending Adam Eaton to the Nationals for quite the haul. The prize acquisitions from the deals are Yoan Moncada, Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez. Rick Hahn has done a nice job executing a rebuild thus far, but how he finishes it will matter most. Is Jose Abreu the next to be dealt? Will they fast track the players at the top of their farm system or play a long game? -AP
23. Miami Marlins (27): Another year, another debate about where in the heck to place the Marlins on a list like this. In 2016, they had one of the best outfields in the game, despite Giancarlo Stanton turning in his worst season to date. J.T Realmuto improved quite a bit offensively last year and was quietly one of the best catchers in baseball. The rotation has a lot of question marks, due in no small part to the unfortunate passing of Jose Fernandez, but the Marlins have a lot of excellent position players around for a while. If they could just sort out their pitching situation a bit, they would surely climb up the standings. -JW
22. Los Angeles Angels (18): We're reached the point in which a Mike Trout trade should be a very real possibility. As selfish as it sounds, Trout's prime years are being wasted on a non-contending Angels club that has been stunted by ownership. Ben Revere, who signed a one-year deal, has been the team's biggest addition so far, which isn't going to light the world on fire. There are questions marks up-and-down the remainder of the roster and Albert Pujols signed some signs of age with diminished power (.480 to .457 SLG) over the last year. -AP
21. Kansas City Royals (4): A little over a year removed from winning the World Series, the chances of another title over the short-term suddenly seem very slim. No team made a steeper drop on our list. It wasn't the .500 season or lack of a postseason berth that worried us, but rather a host of upcoming free agents and the potential for an adjustment in focus from the major league roster to the farm system. Here are just some of players that will be free agents after the 2017 season – Eric Hosmer, Alcides Escobar, Mike Moustakas, Lorenzo Cain and Danny Duffy. Changes are coming. -AP
20. Colorado Rockies (26): Like the last NL team we discussed, the Marlins, the Rockies will always be a tough team to figure out, albeit for different reasons. Last offseason, we weren't really sure whether they were going full rebuild after trading Troy Tulowitzki or not. The pitching fared a lot better last year and could portend better things for Colorado in the future. While signing Ian Desmond to potentially playing first was one of the stranger moves of the offseason, it's too early to say whether they plan to take advantage of his versatility or whether another trade is in the works. Regardless, the biggest issue has been finding pitchers who can succeed at and away from Coors Field and if they are starting to figure that out, we might expect them to continue on an upward trajectory in these rankings, especially as their farm is in pretty good shape in the event that they find themselves in the mix for a postseason spot and need to pick up an impact player. -JW
19. Atlanta Braves (24): Barring some "the baseball gods must be crazy" nonsense, the Braves aren't going to be battling with the Nationals or Mets for the division for a year or two, but they are certainly at a point where we can start to envision the perpetually competitive Braves of yesteryear. At just 22, Dansby Swanson looks like he's going to be helping the Braves out at short for years. Ender Inciarte just got locked down for five years (with a team option for six) and Freddie Freeman is coming off his best season and is signed for five more years. There is a lot of pitching on the way in the minors and, while it won't be here this year, there's a young core of great players already here and here for a while. The fact that they navigated this offseason pretty much perfectly certainly doesn't hurt. –JW
18. Baltimore Orioles (23): The Red Sox are the class of the AL East but with the Blue Jays losing key parts and Yankees and Rays still rebuilding, there is a window for the Orioles to contend for a Wild Card berth in 2017 and 2018. Whether or not that happens will depend on how Chris Tillman follows up the best season of his career and how Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy continue to develop. The "window" for the Orioles is sooner rather than later as the farm system leaves much to be desired. -AP
17. Tampa Bay Rays (22): Over the past three seasons the Rays have finished a combined 57 games back in the AL East. They are terrible, but are in a difficult spot with stars Evan Longoria and Chris Archer on a roster that in thin elsewhere. Will they follow the expected path and deal Archer and/or Longoria for potential or attempt to remain relevant with shrewd additions? To this point, tinkering seems to be the preferred track to getting better. They signed Wilson Ramos, coming off major knee surgery, to a deal that could become one of the best of the winter. If he is pre-injury Ramos from this past season, it could be one of the best tinkers we've seen. -AP
16. Philadelphia Phillies (28): While the Phillies failed to follow through on their hot start to their 2016, that in no way slowed their rocketing up the list from last year. A large part of that is due to the development of young starters (Aaron Nola, Vince Velasquez and Jerad Eickhoff). They've been navigating the minefield that is this offseason in a particularly smart way, making a couple of trades with lesser farm pieces to bring back Clay Buchholz and Howie Kendrick. Those moves added salary (which wasn't going to be used by a rebuilding/rich team otherwise) and a couple of intriguing players with upside who could potentially be useful trade pieces at the deadline. As with some of the other teams who have worked their way out of the basement, the Phillies aren't quite there yet, but they have the building blocks of a team that's going to be contending soon in place, they have a strong farm system and they have lots and lots of money to take advantage of free agency when there are actually good players to be got.
15. Detroit Tigers (13): Only the Blue Jays fielded an older roster than the Tigers this past season and they haven't yet taken a dip in the fountain of youth. Michael Fulmer and Daniel Norris have the potential to be rotational pieces for the next decade, but Justin Verlander and Jordan Zimmermann are on the exact opposite timeline. Ian Kinsler, Miguel Cabrera, Justin Upton and Victor Martinez logged the most at-bats on the roster in 2016 and Upton is the youngest (29) and also least productive of the group. Could they win a World Series in the next handful of years? Their level of star power says maybe, but a lot will have to fall into place. -AP
14. Toronto Blue Jays (10): Toronto is coming off back-to-back ALCS appearances, but a third has become increasingly unlikely as the offseason has progressed. They worked quick to sign Kendrys Morales and Steve Pearce, who will replace Edwin Encarnacion and Jose Bautista, who hit the market at the wrong time and didn't find the Blue Jays to be as nostalgic as we expected just a few months ago. How they develop the farm system and fortify the roster over the next 18 months will go a long way to determining the extent of a rebuild. They still have Troy Tulowitzki and Josh Donaldson on the left side of the infield and young arms in Aaron Sanchez and Marcus Stroman. -AP
13. San Francisco Giants (11): Thanks to all of the even years this decade prior to 2016, the Giants' farm system hasn't been daunting for a while. They have a definite window with their current core and little in the way of replacements waiting in the wings. That being said, all of their big recent moves (the Johnny Cueto, Jeff Samardzija and Mark Melancon signings and the Matt Moore trade) seem to be focused on taking advantage of that window. Last year, the bullpen was the Giants' biggest issue but the addition of Melancon and a little regression towards the mean for the other relievers should fix the bullpen and a full year of Moore bodes well for their chances to make the postseason again. The Giants' mostly homegrown lineup continues to be one of the best in baseball and they certainly have the pieces to make another run with this group, even if the Dodgers are going to make it tough for them to avoid the Wild Card game. -JW
12. Texas Rangers (12): Ian Desmond and Carlos Beltran are gone, but neither were long-term plays. Whether or not the Rangers can contend for a championship soon will depend on how they develop their young hitters. Nomar Mazara, Joey Gallo and Jurickson Profar form a young trio that many teams would love to have, but they barely have a combined 1,000 at-bats under their belts. When, or if, they reach their potential, where will Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish be? How about Adrian Beltre? Can Josh Hamilton be saved from both himself and further injury? -AP
11. New York Mets (3): That the Mets slid this far down the list so quickly is simply a meditation on the fragility of pitchers. That said, a rotation with Noah Syndergaard, Jacob deGrom, Steven Matz and Matt Harvey is something most teams would kill for. While it's crazy to think that we're talking about losing Bartolo Colon at this point as something that might hurt your chances the following season, his departure certainly diminishes the Mets depth in the event that they're dealing with starter injuries again next year. Even though they resigned Yoenis Cespedes, the Mets still don't have a lineup that is going to bludgeon other teams into submission, but as long as they get some health in their young rotation, they really don't need to hit that much to win a bunch of games and stay in the mix for the postseason. – JW
10. St. Louis Cardinals (7): The Cardinals are, as always, continuing to churn out quality players that keep them hovering near the top, even if they've dropped a little from last year. The Dexter Fowler signing may be somewhat un-Cardinal-like, but the emergence of Aledmys Diaz as an All Star who got Rookie of the Year votes is just your typical Cardinals. What the Cardinals may lack in superstar power at this point, they make up for in lack of glaring weaknesses in their lineup. Carlos Martinez is the Cardinals' latest homegrown addition to the rotation and looks to be blossoming into one of the better pitchers in the game. Obviously, playing in the same division as the Cubs means starting off with some ground to make up for the time being, but the Cardinals perpetually pull players out of their hat and they seemingly refuse to leave the postseason mix, ever. -JW
9. Seattle Mariners (21): The Angels may be wasting Mike Trout's prime years, but the Mariners have nearly wasted Felix Hernandez's entire career. Seattle hasn't been to the playoffs since 2001 when they lit the Major Leagues on fire with 116 wins. Robinson Cano, Nelson Cruz and Kyle Seager are a nice 1-2-3 on offense, but upgrades could be made elsewhere and while they surpassed expectations in 2016 the farm system isn't highly regarded within the industry. -AP
8. Pittsburgh Pirates (9): The Pirates have been playing the balancing act of a small market team who has been contending for a while, and they've been succeeding at it. Deals like the smart one that they just signed for Ivan Nova, who while not a sexy player was had at a relative bargain, continue to make the organization look smart and should keep the Pirates in the Wild Card mix every year. Whether we'll see Andrew McCutchen play a longer than one-game postseason series or he'll be flipped to keep feeding the machine is an interesting question, but it's tough to believe that the Pirates and their excellent outfield and rotation won't make it past the play-in game before too long. The fact that they have one the best and deepest farms certainly doesn't hurt, either. –JW
7. New York Yankees (16): Deep pockets make a championship possible over almost any two-year window, but what Brian Cashman has done this offseason is a bit puzzling. He dealt nearly every veteran bat he had at his disposal for prospects this past summer (which is exactly what he should have done) but then signed Aroldis Chapman, one of those traded players, to a five-year, $86 million deal -- the highest ever for a reliever. New York's younger core won't likely be ready for primetime until 2018 at the earliest when Chapman will already be midway through his monster deal. -AP
6. Houston Astros (2): Missing the playoffs was disappointing, but the Astros are still primed for success over the next handful of seasons. They added Josh Reddick and Carlos Beltran to a middling offense and while they could use some upgrades in the rotation they have a staff that remains capable of catching fire. Dallas Keuchel will be the key to have far they can go. Is he the ace we saw in 2015 or the below-average starter we saw in 2016? The answer lies somewhere in between. -AP
5. Cleveland Indians (14): So close to winning a World Series in that epic Game 7 against the Cubs, Cleveland has a good chance to return to the grand stage next year with better health. Terry Francona's pitching staff was in shambles by the time the postseason arrived, but he still managed to guide them to within a few outs of a title. The outfield could be more dangerous offensively -- a healthy Michael Brantley could solve that, but we've been here before -- and the addition of Edwin Encarnacion could be a near wash with Mike Napoli's excellent production moving on. Even after moving Clint Frazier, the Indians also have one of the best farm systems in the AL. -AP
4. Washington Nationals (6): The Nationals had the 2nd best run differential in the NL in 2016 (+151), won 95 games and their division handily, despite the fact that Bryce Harper was playing baseball like a merely really good player instead of a superstar. While it might be unreasonable to expect Daniel Murphy to continue to carry the offense again, it might also be unreasonable not to expect Harper to bounce back (especially with his career low BABIP last season). The Nationals had one of the best rotations in baseball last year and they should again next year. Honestly, the fact that the Nationals come in where they do on the list speaks more to the what's going on with the teams ahead of them and issues with age among some of their players. -JW
3. Chicago Cubs (1): Perhaps we're just being contrarian by not putting the Cubs at the top of the list again, because it would surprise exactly no one if the Cubs winning back-to-back World Series. Last year, the Cubs had the best combination of hitting and defense for position players and one of the best rotations to go along with it. It was a shame that they couldn't come away with a top-tier closer this offseason, but the combo of Koji Uehara and Wade Davis should work as a fallback. While all of the trades that they've made have sapped the farm a bit, they have so much young talent on the field right now, they will be in the mix for years as-is. –JW
2. Boston Red Sox (8): All too often clubs focus so much on the future that they forget sports is largely a "now" business. Maybe Yoan Moncada becomes a star for the White Sox, but he wasn't going to move the needle for the Red Sox soon and Boston's young Major League studs are ready now. Chris Sale has long been underappreciated while pitching for Chicago's less heralded team, but he'll get more attention than he'll ever be comfortable with in the AL East. If David Price pitches better than he did in his debut campaign with the Red Sox, the window is open for them to win while still maintaining high talent levels at all three stages -- minors, young, controllable starters and high-priced veterans. They aren't the Golden State Warriors of Major League Baseball, but they could be the Cleveland Cavaliers. -AP
1. Los Angeles Dodgers (5): While the current incarnation of the Dodgers haven't yet figured out the formula for a pennant, much less a World Series victory, this is a team that looks like they're built to keep pulling up a chair at the postseason table and will figure out how to win it all before too long. They have the deepest farm in the upper tier of contenders and they have the deepest pocketbooks in all of baseball. They have the best pitcher on the planet in Clayton Kershaw, arguably the best closer in Kenley Jansen and more depth than any other team in terms of starting pitching, even if there are a lot of injury prone folks in the mix. They didn't let their free agents take off and got them back at better than market rates. What's really intimidating is the fact that they're about to have a bunch of financial considerations off the books in time for some marquee free agents to hit the shelves. As of late they've come to be known for their Cardinals-esque ability to develop players, their ability to hang on to their best prospects when they do make trades and their endless supply of money to throw at whatever problems they do have, and all of this bumps them up to the top this year. Bet against them at your own peril, because they seem to have a formula for long-term success worked out and it shouldn't be too long before they put it all together. -JW

GUD REVIEWS: The Gender Divide by David Boultbee

The Gender Divide by David Boultbee
Shadowmere Publishing 2007
I enjoyed this book–it's something of a romp, although possibly that obscures a serious purpose. But, oh dear, it's often unintentionally hilarious as well.
Boultbee posits a world in which women's lifespans have increased three-fold following the introduction of a drug to control menstruation. Men are still constrained to their three-score-years and ten. This disparity has brought about substantial changes in society. Women now have all the top jobs, as they've had years in which to accumulate expertise and good references, while men predominate in the military. Babies are created by artificial means that don't require ova. At the time the story's set, tensions between the two gender groups are set to snap.
Enter Ryan Peters, beneficiary of a secret drug that extends male lifespans. He applies for a security job at pharma giant Delphi–and gets it, despite being male. This brings him back into contact with chief executive Olivia Morgan, who used to be his lover but now thinks he's his own son. No, this story's not a farce. He also meets two other high-powered women who work in Delphi's management–Nicole and Brooke.
Bearing in mind that these three women are very powerful, and have lived far longer lives than most of us can expect to see, and that they're also wealthy, well educated, and bright, what would you expect them to talk about when they get together? Ryan, you say? Well, you'd be right. Whenever they get together, it's all Ryan, Ryan, Ryan. You'd think they'd never seen a man before.
Another aspect of the book that concerned me was that although the prejudice against man is talked about, it's never really shown. We hear that Ryan had some problems with the women in his security team at first, but when we actually see him interacting with them, it all seems typically patriarchal. A shame, as there was an opportunity here to examine some interesting aspects of male/female relations turned on their heads.
The strongest character in the book is Nicole, who is able to hold her own with Ryan despite the author's inability to make him as inferior as he's meant to be. His relationship with her is perhaps a distraction from the ostensible plot–to retrieve the formula for the secret drug and thus "normalise" gender relations–but it's touchingly human.
Overall, a book that tries very hard, but seems to shy off going deeply into the consequences of the set up. A missed opportunity.
(Did I talk about Ryan too much?)
Note: a print copy was reviewed.

What our research means for kids
While many childhood urological conditions are not life-threatening, all of them make a very real and often long-term impact on quality of life. Read about just a few of our efforts below.
Pediatric urologic surgeon Vijaya Vemulakonda, MD, works with researchers at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego and Texas Children's Hospital to study treatments for infants diagnosed with hydronephrosis before birth. The research looks at how those variations in treatment impact kidney function in children with kidney obstruction. The goal is to develop guidelines for surgical testing and treatment to improve the long-term outcomes of these patients.
Pediatric urologic oncologist Nicholas Cost, MD, is currently investigating the impact that urologic cancers (kidney, adrenal, bladder, testicular) have on kids and how they can best be treated to maximize cure, but minimize side effects. He works with the Children's Oncology Group to offer the latest treatments and collaborate on research. In addition, our Pediatric Urologic Oncology Program has its own ongoing local investigation in the lab and the clinic that is studying the impact of chemotherapy on bladder function in children.
In collaboration with the Department of Pediatric Radiology and the Society for Fetal Urology, pediatric urological surgeon Jeffrey Campbell, MD, is working to refine prenatal imaging tests to identify urinary and genital organ irregularities at and before birth.
In collaboration with Anna Malykhina, MD, and Nao Iguchi, MD,at the University of Colorado, and Duncan Wilcox, MD, are studying the effect of partial bladder outlet obstruction to assess signs of the obstruction. By studying hypoxia pathways, they hope to find new types of treatment. In addition, they are studying the interaction between bladder and bowel nerve function and its possible effect on children with dysfunctional elimination syndrome.

James & Mary Odum

Isaac Odum
Godfrey Odum
Henry Odum
The Descendants of Godfrey Odum
Wayne County, Georgia
Godfrey Odum was born June 22, 1831 or 1832 in Bulloch County, Georgia. He appears to be in Mary Odum's household there on the 1840 census. In September 1849, after Mary's death, the Bulloch County Court appointed James Rimes as Godfrey's guardian. A year later, the 1850 census finds Godfrey listed as a as a 16 year old farmer living in the household of Ezekiel and Sarah Clifton in Emanuel County, Georgia.
On September 18, 1856, Godfrey married Rebeca Moody in Liberty County, Georgia. Rebeca was the daughter of James M. Moody and Eliza Bradley there, one of about 10 children. The 1860 census shows Godfrey and Rebeca living in Appling County, Georgia with two children: Vicey, daughter, age 5, and an unnamed infant daughter listed as 5 months old when the census was taken in June. The unnamed daughter did not survive.
Acording to an 1895 biographical sketch published in the Memoirs of Georgia1, Godfrey eventually became a sucessful businessman in Wayne County and had only two children, a daughter Vicey and another who died in infancy. It turned out that Godfrey was so sucessful that the town of Odum, Georgia was later named after him.
Beginning with the 1870 census, things begin to get confusing regarding Godfrey's children. The 1870 census lists Godfrey and Rebeca living in Appling County with no children in the household. Vicey, who should have been 13 then, is not to be found in any household in Appling, Wayne or surrounding counties.
The 1880 Wayne County census shows Godfrey and Rebeca Odum with Marion Odum, male, age 8. No relationship is shown for Marion. Also, "V. Moody" is listed in the household as a female servant, age 28. Daughter Vicey, age 21, reappears as the wife of Tyler A. O'Quinn in her own household elsewhere in Wayne County.
Rebeca Odum died September 25, 1897. The 1900 census shows Godfrey as head of the household and no wife is listed. Godfrey is shown as being born June 1831 and still married with 2 children and 1 living. The entry regarding the children is marked out with no replacement made and 4 children are listed as his sons, all single and born in Georgia:
Wallis Odum, born April 1883
Mershaun Odum, born May 1887
Walter Odum, born January 1886
Leonard Odum, born January 1887
Also listed in the household is "Vick Odum", "boarder", male, born December 1852, widowed, with the ocupation of "housekeeper."
There is obvious conflicting information concerning Godfrey's children between his 1895 biographical sketch and the 1880 and 1900 census data.
Godfrey Odum, as sucessful businessman as he apparently was, managed to depart this life without a will. However, there is quite a bit of documentation on his heirs and estate at the Wayne County Probate Judge's office. Godfrey is stated to have died on February 13, 1904 in Milledgeville, Georgia "where he had gone for treatment and care by physicians."
Acording to the 1904 - 1906 court records2, Godfrey had the following additional, surviving children by two other women during the time he was married to Rebeca:
Three by Rachel Johnson, "an unmarried woman" whom he never married but is stated to have adopted their 3 children during his lifetime:
Marion Odum
Issac Odum
"Mrs. Allice Bennett" (Alice Odum married Milton V. Bennett March 27, 1889)
Four by L. Victoria Moody, artfully, but acurately, described in the court records as Godfrey's widow even though Godfrey and she were not married until October 29, 1902:
Wallace G. Odum
Mershon Odum
Walter Odum
The above children by Rachael Johnson are shown in her Wayne County household and as her children on the 1880 census with the Johnson surname. Apparently, Marion was listed twice - in Godfrey's household as well as in Rachael Johnson's. Rachel is listed as the head of her household. She is shown as a widow with 5 children - Marion (age 9), Isaac (age 7), Alice (age 5), Robert L. (age 3) and Maning (age 7 months). There is no mention of Robert or Maning in Godfrey Odum's court records.
There is, however, a William Manning Odum who appears in Wayne County on the 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses. William is shown with birth dates ranging from 1872 through 1879. He married Kate J. Brannon (or Brannen), daughter of Abraham and Mary Brannon, on January 4, 1907. I do not know if this William is the same person as the Maning Johnson in Rachel Johnson's 1880 household.
Rachel Johnson, born about 1848, was the daughter of Daniel and Holly Ann Johnson of Appling County, Georgia. Apparently, she died in Wayne County between 1910 and 1920. In 1910 she was listed in the Wayne County household of Marion Odum and his family as Marion's mother, age 64 and single. I have not found any burial information for her.
The children by Victoria Moody are listed on the 1900 census in Godfrey's household. Also, the "Vick Odum" housekeeper was probably incorrectly reported as a male on the 1900 census in Godfrey's household. This is apparently the same person as the female "V. Moody" listed as a housekeeper on the 1880 census.
The other heirs to Godfrey's worldly possessions (other than the 7 children listed above) are stated to be "Mrs. Victoria Odum" (L. Victoria Moody Odum, current wife) and "Mrs. Vicy Odum O'Quinn" (daughter by first marriage). Rachel Johnson was not further mentioned.
Victoria Moody was probably the daughter of William B. and Julia Moody of Liberty County, Georgia, the eldest of 10 children. Her marriage to Godfrey Odum was apparently her first marriage. I do not know if there is any relationship between Victoria and Godfrey's first wife, Rebeca Moody. However, they are both from Liberty County. Victoria Moody Odum died March 4, 1940 and is buried in the Odum City Cemetery in Wayne County. Her date of birth on her headstone is December 24, 1851.
Godfrey Odum and his first wife, Rebeca, are buried in the Old Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery, Wayne County, Georgia.
Just to further complicate matters, there is one more child that may be another son of Godfrey. A January 1921 passport application by William Odum, a ship corker (caulker) at Key West, Florida, states that he was born in Wayne County Georgia, January 13, 1894 and his father was Godfrey Odum. The passport application also included William's wife, Florence, who was reported to be about 20 years old and born in Quitman, Georgia. Florence was Florence Lillian Coachman, born November 1, 1899, probably in Thomas County, Georgia, daughter of James Francis Coachman and Rosa B. Coats. William Odum died November 5, 1970 in Dade County, Florida, followed by Florence there on April 27, 1981. William's death certificate, however, lists his father as William Odum. The information on both death certificates was provided by Colon Dixon.3 William and Florence had two children: Colon William Odum (also known as Colon William Dixon, Jr.), born January 26, 1921, in Miami, Florida and Paul Odum (also shown as Paul Dixon), born October 16, 1923. Both sons apparently kept "Dixon" as their surname throughout their lives.
There were two Godfrey Odums in or around Wayne County on the 1900 census. The second was a son of Henry Odum, Godfrey's brother. William Odum was not in either household on that census, nor was I able to locate him elsewhere.
Godfrey's children and their descendants are listed in the Odum family tree 4.

3 This would be Colon William Dixon, Jr. There is another, as yet undetermined, relationship between Colon Dixon (Sr.) and the Odum and Coachman families. It is possible that William Odum and Colon Dixon, Sr. were the same person. Colon Dixon, Sr. was a son of Sonny Dixon of Wayne County, Georgia, another reputed son of Godfrey Odum. I have not found any death record for Colon Dixon Sr.

Welcome to Inferno Catering! We'd love to help you with all of your catering needs. We are based in Las Vegas, NV, but service customers throughout the USA. Are you looking for top notch chefs, amazing food, and some of the best customer service for you next event? We would love to help you out. Contact our catering crew and our owner for more information on your next big party, wedding, or even for a small get together.
…our founder and chef has trained in Naples, Italy and has designed this mobile oven specifically for creating authentic Neapolitan pizza for private catering and events.
We love working at weddings!
Many of the best venues in Las Vegas don't offer in-house catering. Even those offering this service may not offer the type of dishes you prefer. Hiring a catering company in Las Vegas can be tricky. The seven tips below will help to make the process much easier.
Maybe the most important tip on the list, you should always check references before hiring a catering company. Past clients will tell you the truth about what they offer, how they handle an event and what to expect. Even the happy customers they will refer you to will give you some good information about the catering company.
What did you enjoy the most from the catering services?
Have you used this caterer multiple times?
Would you change anything about the catering of the event?
With the right questions you will get a much better idea of what to expect from the catering company.
While it's not usually possible to taste everything a caterer offers, they should offer some samples during your first meeting. The food you taste will give you an idea of what they are capable of producing and the range of options they may be able to offer. Remember, all menu items can be adjusted to fit your specific tastes and you should provide feedback when tasting the food.
Hiring a caterer does need to be based on how good the food tastes. It's best to choose a Las Vegas catering company capable of creating food specific to your taste. If you really enjoyed the food provided by one company over all the others, that company is probably the best choice for your event catering needs.
When you receive a proposal from a catering company, it's an opportunity to find out if they are organized. An unorganized caterer can quickly ruin an event and probably won't provide the most professional services. However, an organized catering company may take your event to another level.
If you notice a sense of disorganization during the presentation and the planning process, it could be a sign of a company you don't want working your event. Make sure the Las Vegas caterer you choose is professional and organized before signing anything.
Not all event venues allow outside catering services. However, those allowing you to bring in your own caterer may be able to help you choose the right one for your needs. Event venues may have experience with certain caterers and can provide an unbiased opinion about how they left the venue or how things ran at past events.
The first thing you should always check with any catering company in Las Vegas is the availability. Can they offer the services you need for the date of your event? If not, it's pretty obvious, you need to move on.
Some companies may be available, but may not offer everything you need. Find out if they are a full-service option offering linens, chairs, tables and other catering decorations. If the company you want to hire doesn't offer everything you need, it's important to line up the rest of what you need ahead of time.
Before you agree to hire a catering company, make sure you understand what the cost includes and the possible additional fees. Find out if the proposal is all inclusive, includes tax or if the price per person will vary depending on the number of guests. It's also important to find out if gratuity has been added or if you need to take care of this on the night of the event. If you'd like to learn more, contact us at Matteo's Gourmet Food Services 1770 W Horizon Ridge Pkwy, #100, Henderson, NV 89012.
You don't want someone showing up to run the catering for your event that you've never met. Before you hire any Las Vegas catering company, make sure you understand who's in charge and who will be running your event. You need to have a point person you can turn to with questions and concerns.
When you're putting on an event in Las Vegas and you need a catering company, make sure you use these seven tips to hire the right company for your event. The food is very important, but you also need professional and organized service. Don't be afraid to interview multiple catering companies before you make your final decision.

Have you ever though backups can make your life easier, do you make backups of your important data? or your backups usually outdated because you forgot to make a backup at the right time. I believe not much people make regular backups because many tools are too complicated or people simply don't have enough time.
Duplicati is very simple advanced tool that can solve your backup problems, it is free backup client that securely stores encrypted, incremental, compressed backups on cloud storage services and remote file servers. Duplicati is open source software (LGPL), written in C# and available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. The Duplicati project started as "duplicity for Windows" but then went its own way. It works with Amazon S3, Windows Live SkyDrive, Google Drive (Google Docs), Rackspace Cloud Files or WebDAV, SSH, FTP (and many more). Duplicati has a built-in scheduler, so that it's easy to have a regular, up-to-date backup. Furthermore, Duplicati uses file compression and is able to store incremental backups to save storage space and bandwidth.
Duplicati has built-in AES-256 encryption and backups can be signed using GNU Privacy Guard. A built-in scheduler makes sure that backups are always up-to-date. Last but not least, Duplicati provides various options and tweaks like filters, deletion rules, transfer and bandwidth options to run backups for specific purposes. The Duplicati project was inspired by duplicity. It is available in English, Spanish, French, German, Danish, Portugese, Italian, and Chinese.
Duplicati can make proper backups of opened or locked files.

History of Wraparound and the National Wraparound Initiative
As the History of Wraparound clearly illustrates, Wraparound originated as a philosophy and a grassroots movement more so than a specific intervention or practice model. This unique nature of Wraparound has proven to be a source of both strength and difficulty. Normally, an intervention is designed and tested by a single person or group. In contrast, Wraparound practice and supporting policies have evolved through a process of ongoing innovation on the part of families, trainers, and providers around the nation. This process has stimulated a kind of creativity that would never have occurred within a less flexible and locally adaptable model. On the other hand, the lack of shared standards or guidelines for Wraparound practice has historically created problems around issues of quality assurance and fidelity.
During the late 1970s and early 80s, Wraparound emerged gradually from the efforts of individuals and organizations committed to providing individualized, comprehensive, community-based care for children and their families. While the term Wraparound came to be more and more widely used throughout the 1990s, there was still no formal agreement about exactly what Wraparound was. Many Wraparound programs shared features with one another, but there existed no consensus about what was essential for Wraparound. Some programs were able to document extraordinary successes, but it also became apparent that many teams and programs were not operating in a manner that reflected the Wraparound principles. Toward the early 2000s, it became increasingly clear that without a clear definition of what Wraparound was (and wasn't), any practice could be called "Wraparound," regardless of quality. Furthermore, it would be impossible to establish evidence for Wraparound's effectiveness without a clear definition of the practice.
In true Wraparound fashion, a team approach emerged to address these difficulties. In June of 2003, the Research and Training Center on Family Support and Children's Mental Health hosted a national meeting in Portland, Oregon, and invited over 30 parents, parent advocates, Wraparound trainers, practitioners, program administrators, researchers, and systems of care technical assistance providers. This was the first meeting of what became the Advisory Group of a new National Wraparound Initiative. At this initial meeting, the group reaffirmed the need to define a Wraparound practice model, discussed potential methods for conducting such work, and described specific products that should result. By the end of the meeting, the group reached a consensus about what is most needed to promote high quality in Wraparound:
Clear definitions of the Wraparound philosophy and the Wraparound practice model
Specific strategies on how to achieve high-quality Wraparound at the family, team, provider, and system levels
Minimum standards for Wraparound practice and for supporting families, teams, and practitioners
Implementation and fidelity tools – aligned with the strategies and standards for Wraparound – that could inform quality improvement and be used in more rigorous evaluation
Handbooks for youth, caregivers, practitioners, and team members that explain Wraparound and what should be expected during implementation
Since that initial meeting, the collective efforts of the members of the NWI have been successful in meeting many of these needs and making progress toward meeting the others. As described in an evaluation of the NWI's impact, the vast majority of the NWI's advisors perceived that the NWI has met these initial goals, and that the NWI had substantial positive impact on Wraparound implementation nationally.
The NWI Today
The NWI is now a collaboration among three research institutions:
Portland State University serves as host of the NWI, convener of the community of practice, and a primary locus of research and policy on Wraparound implementation support.
The Institute for Innovation and Implementation at the University of Maryland School of Social Work, in Baltimore, is the hub of training and workforce support for the National Wraparound Implementation Center (NWIC).
The University of Washington School of Medicine, which serves as the accountability "wing" of the NWI, development and dissemination center for the tools of the Wraparound Fidelity Assessment System, and primary evaluation partner.
The NWI is still interested in promoting research and accountability of the Wraparound model. As described in our mission page, however, the NWI is now also focusing on more directly supporting youth, families, and communities, through NWIC as well as an expanded mission that emphasizes four primary functions:
Supporting community-level planning and implementation through implementation blueprints, self-assessment tools, and technical assistance.
Promoting professional development of Wraparound staff by providing implementation strategies and tools; a framework for staff development; quality assurance for training and coaching; and access to the National Wraparound Implementation Center.
Ensuring accountability through dissemination of fidelity measures, external reviews of practice via the Wraparound Structured Assessment and Review (WrapSTAR), and a web-based system for tracking implementation and monitoring fidelity and outcomes.
Sustaining a more vibrant and interactive national community of practice by bringing together hundreds of NWI members and dozens of affiliates nationally who provide energy and resources while also benefiting from sharing information and being linked together.
